Here is how. First what is Remita.

Remita is a payment platform developed by Systemspecs. Remember Systemspecs, they gained popularity by being the main solutions provider for the Federal Government Treasury Single Account initiative.

The Remita platform is commonly used by Government parastatals, agencies, ministries, Schools, Universities and more for fees payments. Institutions like the Federal Inland Revenue Services, Nigerian Immigration, Federal Road Safety Corps, Universities of Lagos and more use the Remita platform.
