Speaking on behalf of the Ministry of General Education and Instruction, David Lowela Ladu, Director General of Basic and Secondary Education, commended MTN for its innovative approach to contributing to the country’s development. He highlighted the platform’s significant impact on enhancing safety by reducing the risk of theft and robbery associated with carrying large amounts of cash.
The service can be accessed using the MoMo short code *200*3*2#. Parents or guardians can deposit money into their MoMo wallet, dial the short code, enter the child’s student number to view the due amount, and complete the payment. An SMS summarizing the payment will be sent, which can be used for tracking and reconciliation. Schools will receive notifications of payments and update student accounts accordingly.
