…using technology to simplify access to critical opportunities for education.
With the registration window for the 2026 WAEC Second Series examinations already underway and scheduled to close on July 31, Remita is ramping up nationwide awareness and access to help students, parents, and schools complete registration seamlessly and on time.
Candidates can securely purchase their WAEC/GCE registration ePINs via remita.net/waec, the Remita mobile app, and authorised partner channels nationwide, eliminating many of the delays, queues, and payment challenges traditionally associated with examination registration.
The campaign forms part of Remita’s broader commitment to using technology to simplify access to critical opportunities for Nigerians, particularly in education.
For many young Nigerians, WAEC is more than an examination. It is a gateway to higher education, employability, entrepreneurship, and future participation in an increasingly competitive global economy.
Against the backdrop of growing conversations around talent shortages, digital inclusion, and the future workforce, Remita says improving access to educational processes is becoming increasingly important for countries seeking long-term economic growth and competitiveness.
Over the last two decades, millions of Nigerian students and families have relied on Remita-powered payment infrastructure to access critical educational opportunities, including examination registrations that shape entry into higher education and future careers. Beyond transactions, this reflects the growing role of digital infrastructure in enabling human potential at scale.
Supporting candidates across all 36 states and the FCT, and serving students from both urban and underserved communities alike, the platform continues to play a quiet but significant role in reducing barriers to educational access.
“In emerging economies, one of the greatest barriers to opportunity is often not talent, but access,” the company stated. “When payment systems become simpler, faster, and more inclusive, they do more than process transactions – they help keep ambition in motion.”
Speaking on the initiative, Chinedu Alisa, Head of Enterprise Assets at Remita, said the company remains focused on building infrastructure that supports both everyday convenience and long-term national development.
“When people think about payment platforms, they often think about transactions. But behind many transactions are life-changing moments. For a student, a WAEC registration PIN can represent access to higher education, economic opportunity, and a different future.
“At Remita, we are proud that our infrastructure has supported millions of Nigerians through critical moments over the years. As Africa continues to participate more actively in the global digital economy, enabling educational access at scale becomes not just important, but strategic.
He added that Remita’s continued investment in accessible digital infrastructure reflects a broader belief that technology should help remove barriers and expand opportunities for citizens.
“Technology achieves its highest value when it expands access to opportunity,” he said.
As conversations around talent shortages intensify globally, countries that succeed in reducing friction around educational access today will be better positioned to compete for the innovation economy of tomorrow.
With Remita’s instant PIN delivery system, candidates and parents can complete purchases within minutes from their phones or laptops without visiting physical locations or waiting in long queues. The platform also supports bulk purchases for schools, churches, NGOs, local governments, and community organisations coordinating registrations for multiple candidates through a single, streamlined process.
