The National Association of Polytechnic Students has unveiled the Paytogeda CampusPay platform in Ibadan, Oyo State, positioning the digital payment solution as a tool to eliminate financial opacity and strengthen accountability in student union administration across polytechnic campuses nationwide.

The formal launch, held on Thursday, brought together student leaders, stakeholders, and technology partners, with the NAPS Senate President, Ayomide Oyewumi, describing the initiative as a turning point in student governance.

Oyewumi stated that the platform would ensure union dues, levies, and other financial contributions are processed through secure and accountable channels. "Today marks more than the unveiling of a digital platform; it marks the beginning of a new era in student union administration. Transparency is no longer optional, and accountability is no longer negotiable," he declared, urging student union leaders nationwide to adopt the system.

Beyond union payments, Oyewumi highlighted the platform's wider potential as an all encompassing financial tool covering registrations, departmental fees, event ticketing, and daily campus transactions. He stressed that embracing digital solutions was essential to building smart campuses capable of sustaining institutional reforms beyond individual tenures.

Chief Executive Officer of Paytogeda, Aderogba Odepode, described the initiative as a student centred innovation designed to simplify financial coordination and eliminate disputes. He explained that the platform ensures every contribution is visible, every transaction is tracked, and every payout is subject to agreed upon approvals.

Odepode commended NAPS for the collaboration, framing the partnership as a broader movement. "We are launching a movement that empowers students to take collective and responsible control of their finances. This platform is designed to strengthen governance, build credibility, and deliver real value to the students it serves," he stated.

Both parties noted that the adoption of digital payment systems aligns with global best practices in institutional governance and financial management.
