Education Greatest Investment In Nigeria’s Tomorrow, Says Oniku

Remita’s executive director, Business Development, Abayomi Oniku, has stressed the importance of education to nation-building, saying it remains the greatest investment in Nigeria’s future.

Oniku, who spoke against the backdrop of the opening of registration for the 2026 UTME and Direct Entry examinations, said Remita has stepped out to make higher education registration easier for millions of Nigerians.

The firm said it is further simplifying how candidates can access their JAMB ePINs directly, making the process more intuitive, reliable, and inclusive.

Oniku added that, “Education is the greatest investment in Nigeria’s tomorrow, and Remita will continue to ensure that payments are a bridge – never a barrier – to opportunity.”

Remita’s Head of Digital Assets and Partnerships, Alisa Chinedu, added that, “This year, we are making the JAMB ePIN experience more intuitive and more human – through our AI assistant and stronger partnerships with trusted institutions and stakeholders that guide students toward a prosperous future.

“As millions of young Nigerians take this important step towards higher education, Remita is right there with them as a partner in progress. In every exam season and every academic transition, Remita remains dependable, forward-looking, and committed to expanding access. Because when education moves forward, Nigeria moves forward too.

“By reducing friction and strengthening digital connections between students, families, and institutions, Remita is helping to ensure that candidates can complete this important step with greater confidence and ease.’’
