National News – The National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) has unveiled a new digital payment solution, Paytogeda CampusPay, aimed at improving transparency and accountability in student financial management across Nigerian polytechnics.

The platform was officially launched on Thursday in Ibadan, bringing together student leaders, stakeholders, and technology partners.

Speaking at the event, NAPS Senate President, Ayomide Oyewumi, explained that the initiative was developed to address long-standing concerns over financial mismanagement and lack of trust in student unions.

He stated that the platform ensures all dues, levies, and payments are processed through secure, traceable, and verifiable channels.

According to him, the system enables real-time financial reporting, making it easier for student leaders to maintain accountability and build credibility.

Oyewumi noted that the innovation marks a shift toward modern governance, where transparency is mandatory and financial activities can be easily monitored.

He urged student unions nationwide to adopt the platform to enhance efficiency and reduce disputes linked to fund handling.

Also speaking, the Chief Executive Officer of Paytogeda, Aderogba Odepode, described CampusPay as a student-focused innovation designed to simplify campus financial operations.

He explained that every transaction on the platform is visible and subject to approval processes, ensuring proper checks and balances within student administrations.

Beyond union dues, the platform is expected to support multiple campus transactions, including registrations, departmental fees, and event ticketing.

Stakeholders highlighted that adopting digital systems aligns with global best practices in institutional governance and will help sustain reforms beyond leadership tenures.

The initiative reflects growing efforts to digitise campus operations in Nigeria, promoting efficiency, trust, and better financial coordination among students.
