I paid at d bank for acceptance fee. the attender ( bank) wrote d wrong phone number and email( used d school’s own) under payer information. and after getting payment receipt and teller. I’ve been unable to log in due to invalid password . what can I do to rectify this mistake without paying another fee ?
urgent. pls help
@mariam, I will need you to provide answers to the questions below.
1) Did you generate an RRR Code for payment for your owns School’s Acceptance fee?
2) Are you logging into your own school account or into remita dashboard?
If Yes to question 1, Once your acceptance fee payment has been processed, you’ll need to log into your school’s account for verification since you were able to generate an rrr code yourself for payment?
What other advantages do i get frm Remita?
Can i get a loan on Remita & pay installmentally??
No, Remita is just a payment gateway. They stand as an intermediary between Federal Government Agencies and People due to the TSA implemented.
Thanks sir. I was able to pay directly from remita website using ATM card.
@Akpan, We are happy you were able to do this easily on your own.
I selected the bank branch option for NSUK post graduate application. I made the payment at the bank with my RRR. But there was no way I could add this to the invoice on NSUK portal. Now my application is pending and I’m being asked to make payment. How do I link my Remita payment RRR on the portal?
@Ernest, your school will automatically confirm the payment since they have the information about the RRR generated. Just keep calm aand your portal will soon reflect the changes.
pls do i need an RRR to make payment at bank. or i should jox carry the money to d bank to make d payment
Hi Bright, It’s better you generate RRR following the steps above and make the payment at the bank if you cannot pay with your ATM card but going to the bank with the money might cause you a slight delay in making payment since the RRR will need to be generated for you in the bank too.
Do I have to open an account with remita before I can use it to make payment?
Because despite the fact I have an account with them, it keeps giving me an error message each time I try making payments via ATM cards.
@James, you do not need to have an account. What you need to do is to generate an rrr and use the rrr code for payment.
I generated multiple Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) will there be a problem? I paid using the first one I generated but it’s still showing not paid
@Assad, There is no problem generating multiple RRR and the one you paid with will be confirmed few minutes or hours after payment. Remita would have sent you the payment receipt to your email but it depends on how fast your school is in confirming.
Pls sir, I paid my acceptance fees through remita and I got the receipt but it’s not reflecting on the school’s portal….it’s still saying sorry u have not paid ur acceptance fees…pls is there a way this can be corrected
@seun, Your school will definitely update your Admission status. I believe that they are currently slow because they have a lot of processes going on at this time of the year. How many days is it now?
Good morning,please I generated RRR on my school portal to make my acceptance school payment,noticed the second day that there was an error on the service description instead of 2019/2020,2016/2017 was written on it,tried to confirm my payment it keeps saying “no RRR has been generated for this payment’.please what do I do
@Toyin, Payment description on RRR should affect verification of your payment. Once the School receives the RRR and Payment Confirmation, it will be processed on your application.
Good morning ,I made a payment for my acceptance fee through d RRR I generated,got home to discover that there was an error on the RRR given to me at the bank,under the service description 2016/2017 was written on it right instead of 2019/2020, I tried to confirm the payment it keeps saying ” no RRR has been generated for this payment”.please what do I do

@Abiodun, Kindly check the email you provided when filling your payment information for the RRR and the when you made the online payment. You should receive an email of payment in your inbox or better still check your spam box.
I paid acceptance fee tru remita and now I discovered that the school acceptance fee is to be paid tru e transact what do I do is there anyway that it can be used ?
@Kingsley, There is nothing you can do to retrieve the money as you have made a wrong payment into remita but you can visit the school to explain your issues and get a direction on what to do next. Kindly ensure you visit the school because remita is just a third party payment channel.
I wanted to pay school fees via remita in my school portal (uniben) but multiple tickets was created for the payment. When you click on ‘pay via remita’ button in each of the ticket it will show ‘RRR generation message from remita – invalid request’ . Pls, what do I do?
@Chioma, Kindly go to Remita and generate your RRR using the example stated above. Pick your school and pay the fees. Your school will be notified with the details and merge with your profile. Just make sure you use a valid email address.
Just after making payment with the RRR, Go to Uniben Portal Remita Query and paste in the RRR to update your profile.
I have gone there before but the school fees options they brought out there was confusing. I don’t know which option to choose from
@Chioma, You are to choose UNIBEN SCHOOL FEES UG-FT – WAC, it stands for UG Undergraduate – FT Full Time. But I got a notification from remita which is shown below and in the image below.

What am I to do now?
@Chisom, you need to login back into the university portal and your profile should have been updated. I hope you got your payment receipt or RRR from remita?

@Fatimat, The RRR you generated and paid on you still have outstanding balance on it, check through your email and see if you can still make use of the RRR to make payments. Otherwise, you’d need to contact the remita support.
Sir, I made payment for my school fees through Remita USSD, the funds have been deducted from my bank account, but I’m yet to receive a receipt from Remita, showing my payment status. And, any time I click on the option; retrieve receipt/invoice, it’s sends an invoice to my mail. Whereas I’ve paid already. I just need the receipt for the transaction
@Oluwatobi, Kindly give the remita platform about 24hrs as you will be sent the RRR used for payment to your email address and a notification should be sent to you via sms too.

I paid in my acceptance fee today through the remita platform tho in a bank….
Got a payment receipt from the bank and it’s still showing pending on the schools portal… Is there a problem that needs to be rectified please?
@Goodness, there is no problem. Kindly give the remita platform about 24hrs to update on your school portal. It’s basically a technology platform.
Good day, please I made an online payment through Rimeta to FUTO in respect of Transcript Processing. Before I made the payment, I generated RRR and after which I made the payment online with my ATM Master Card. The money left my account but didn’t receive any debit alert from my bank. But the receipt sent to my email after payment is carrying another RRR. Now when I login to FUTO portal to confirm the payment so as to generate the payment receipt from FUTO portal, under Status, it is shows “Paid” but at the right hand side, it showing “Processing”.
There is another page it takes me to view the payment status so as to print out the payment receipt from FUTO portal but each time I login with the RRR I generated on the diologe box, am seeing ” RRR generated successfully” but under it still showing ” Transaction Pending”.
Please I really need assistance on how to go about it.
Thank you
@Taye, Apologies for our late response. It ought to have been rectified by now I believe. This is a system delay and If not yet rectified, we can help you look into the situation further.
On my school portal (UI),I selected the fee type to pay for on the ‘payment section’, I did all process right,and the page refreshed with the remita platform and all the payment modes can be sighted including the RRR number generated for each.
Then it showed a page where I could see all my details including my institutional email,my own name,RRR,and amount. But I clicked on submit and I observed no response,and also the phone number it showed there was not mine(kind of sample) but I tried to edit but it was not responding.
Anyways I copied the RRR and I ignored the submit stuff.
I further went to pay at the bank for the 2 fees,and I received a receipt at the bank. I also received an invoice from remita on my institutional email for the payment.
But on the school portal, no sign of payment has been indicated. It’s been 30 hours now since I paid at the Bank.
It’s my first time doing this anyway,and I’m confused now.
@Hamzat, Apologies for our late response. It ought to have been rectified by now I believe. The problem is that the system takes time to update. SO you need to give it enough time before it reflects.
Pls I paid all my fees(ui) through remita for this current session,but it is only my technology fees that is reflecting,school fees and professional levy isn’t reflecting. Pls what do I do?
This is more than 10 days now pls
@Dayo, Kindly validate the payment made on the RRR receipt and proceed to the IT unit of UI to lodge your complaint.
I made a payment through remit and I was debited but it is not showing on my school portal DAT I already made d paymeny
@Temilade, Kindly give some time before the payment reflects on your school portal. Let’s say you check back 24hrs after the payment was made.
Hi

Please what do I do?
@Priscilla, Kindly exercise some patience. But you can also proceed to your school’s IT unit with your remita payment receipt for them to manually update your status on the school’s portal.
Although I got the receipt from remita ,it has not reflected paid on my portal.
I paid my hostel fees through RRR… I login to my school portal to verify the payment using RRR as required… Unknown to me they have closed the payment… Although im yet to receive debit allert but the money have been deducted.
@Benson, if the payment is not reversed, you might need to keep the Remita Payment receipt to be used for a new session.
