Living the Remita Life: How Benie Ovat Turned Everyday Payments into a Win

 

Who knew that spending just ₦3,000 could spark a friendly competition and a newfound appreciation for smarter spending – all in one go?

That’s the brilliance behind Project 3K by 30, Remita’s internal campaign that rewards staff not just for using the platform but for proving that even everyday bills can be part of a winning strategy.

When Remita rolled out the challenge, it wasn’t just about payments – it was about celebrating the ease and efficiency of a platform that powers life behind the scenes. For Benie Ovat, Team Lead, Revenue Assurance & Special Projects, it wasn’t a stretch – it was business as usual.

Already a loyal user for utilities, cable TV, and government services, Benie didn’t need to do anything extra – just keep doing what worked. The reward? A well-earned spot in the Remita 3K Hall of Fame.

In this quick chat, Benie breaks down why Remita remains her go-to app, what sets it apart from the rest, and why, if Remita were a person, it’d be that non-fuss friend who always shows up and just gets things done.
