 The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Ramita, Deremi Amanda, says about 34.311 trillion Naira revenue was generated by Ramita platform into the Federation account between 2015 and 2022. It is closed during the investigative hearing on alleged revenue leakages through Ramita platform and non-compliance substantively with standard operating procedure and other allied service agreements held at the instance of the House Committee on Public Accounts chaired by Honourable Bami Dele Salam, while dismissing insinuations that Ramita imposed additional fees, apart from the approved 150 Naira, which represents 10 percent at current exchange rate on the revenue-generating MDAs. Mr. Atanda disclosed that a Ramita payment gateway platform provides additional technology services to the Federation at no cost, despite paying in foreign exchange for hosting the platform on cloud-based platform, while ruling Chairman House Committee on Public Accounts Honourable Bami Dele Salam underscored the need for physical appearance of the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, CBN Governor and Accountant General of the Federation before the Committee on Tuesday, 20 February 2024. Having been in the picture for this number of years, we think that there can be increased public sensitization and enlightenment in respect of revenue collections, so that citizens are not misled to pay government revenues into accounts that may not belong to government.
