Executive Summary
The Federal Government of Nigeriavia the Office of the
Accountant General (OAGF) had
committed to implementing a Treasury Single Account(TSA) as part
of the Economic Reform
Programme.This entails the implementation of an Enterprise
Financial Management System
(GIFMIS) to be integrated with a robust e-Payment system.The
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) aspart of its National Payment
System’s (NPS) Vision 2020 objectives is committed to promoting
e-
Payment adoption across the economy. In view of this, all
MDAs were mandated to comply with
this policy.
The existing Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF) is now the Treasury
Single Account (TSA) for
Federal Government maintained at CBN. MDAs initiate and approve
transactions against approve
budgets using a central Financial Management System
(GIFMIS) that integrates with the CBN e-
Payment Platform to automate and streamline payments across all
MDAs. Most Government/
MDA funds are domiciled in CBN, reducing CBN’s huge cost of
liquidity management for Open
Market Operations (OMO).
Solution Overview
In compliance with FGN directive on TSA, The Nigerian Port
Authority (NPA), mandated her
Product Vendor (Soft Alliance and Resources Limited) on the
Revenue and Invoice Management
System (RIMS) to complete all payable and receivable
transactions in a handshake implementation
known as REMITA integration.
In view of the above, REMITA provides a standards-based web
service (REST) which allows a
HTTP POST call. This enables NPA’s platform interact with their
REMITA designated account in asecure way. SoftAlliance implemented
the Invoice (RRR) Generation, Lookup and Payment
Notification Endpoint. Testing of the Invoice (RRR) Generation,
Lookup and Payment Notification
Endpoint.
A Test environment was setup to deploy the REMITA’s platform;
and the Configuration of the
RIMS application was reviewed to best suit the Integration
process. Subsequently, Test transaction
were pushed and the successful/failed payment feedback were
logged. See UAT signoff document
for details.
