The National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) has launched the Paytogeda CampusPay platform, a digital payment solution aimed at improving transparency, accountability and efficiency in student union financial management across polytechnic campuses in Nigeria.
The platform was officially unveiled on Thursday in Ibadan, during an event attended by student leaders, stakeholders and technology partners.
Speaking at the launch, NAPS Senate President, Ayomide Oyewumi, described the initiative as a major step toward modernising student governance and addressing long-standing concerns about financial opacity in campus administrations.
He said the digital solution would ensure that financial transactions involving union dues, levies and other contributions become traceable and verifiable, thereby strengthening trust between student leaders and the student body.
“Today marks more than the unveiling of a digital platform; it marks the beginning of a new era in student union administration,” Oyewumi said, urging student union executives nationwide to adopt the system.
According to him, the platform will also enable student leaders to generate real-time financial reports easily, improving transparency and enhancing the credibility of campus leadership.
Oyewumi added that beyond union payments, the platform could support registrations, departmental fee payments, event ticketing and other routine campus transactions, positioning it as a broader financial tool for students.
In his remarks, the Chief Executive Officer of Paytogeda CampusPay, Aderogba Odepode, described the initiative as a student-focused innovation designed to simplify financial coordination and reduce disputes in campus financial management.
He explained that the system ensures contributions are visible, transactions are trackable and payouts follow agreed approval processes, promoting accountability and operational efficiency within student unions.
Both speakers noted that the adoption of digital financial systems aligns with global best practices in institutional governance and supports efforts to build smarter and more transparent campus administrations.
