The Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF) has confirmed that Remitta remains the Federal Government’s approved payment gateway, contrary to rumors that it had been scrapped. Instead, Remitta will be integrated into a new system called the Treasury Management and Revenue Assurance System (TMRAS), alongside other payment platforms licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

According to Mr. Bawa Mokwa, Director of Press and Public Relations at the OAGF, TMRAS is designed to improve government revenue collection and management. “TMRAS is designed to coordinate, streamline, and manage the Federal Government’s revenue collections and payments for all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs),” Mokwa explained.²
The new system, launched on March 4, 2025, is part of President Bola Tinubu’s directive to enhance revenue assurance and improve budget performance. The policy is also being implemented under the supervision of the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun.
While Remitta remains a secure payment channel, TMRAS will enable other approved Payment Solution Service Providers (PSSPs) to operate, expanding the options for revenue payments. As the OAGF stated, “To clarify, Remitta is still the official payment gateway for government transactions for at least the next two months. However, the government is working on taking full control of the front-end payment system and allowing other CBN-licensed service providers to participate”
The Accountant-General’s Office reassured Nigerians that Remitta remains valid for all payments to the Federal Government and encouraged users to visit www.fgntreasury.gov.ng for more information.
