As the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) opens registration for its 2025 Second Series, the leading payment technology platform, Remita, has reaffirmed its commitment to equitable access to education by enabling the seamless purchase of registration PINs across digital and physical channels nationwide.
Remita explained that its partnership with WAEC will simplify the registration process for students writing the WAEC examination, offering easy and secure PIN purchase across its digital and physical channels nationwide. Chinedu Alisa, Head of Enterprise Assets at Remita, explained further that the alliance with the body aimed to address persistent barriers to WAEC registration, including payment issues, unreliable platforms, and limited reach in underserved areas.
“We are not new to this. We have built the infrastructure that powers not just business and government transactions, but moments that shape lives – like a student securing their future. Our technology serves millions, yet we remain focused on each individual and their journey. Writing the WAEC examination is a defining milestone for many, and every seamless transaction on our platform brings them one step closer to their next chapter. At Remita, we are not just processing payments, we are enabling possibilities”, he assured.
Alisa reiterated the platform’s capacity to support high-volume transactions, which connects directly to banks, merchants, and payment providers. He also declared that the platform was designed to scale with the needs of a growing digital population. “Our mission has always gone beyond business. It is about national development, equity, and innovation. Whether it is WAEC, salaries, taxes, transfers, or donations, we are the platform that powers every payment for everyone and everywhere”, he said.
