The University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) Management, in partnership with Ondigo Technologies, has launched an Integrated Transport Payment System.

While introducing the project to the Management of the Hospital, a member of Ondigo Technologies, Dr. Onyia Godswill, explained that the technology is a digital method of collecting transport fares.
In his words, “A passenger only needs to obtain the company’s smart card and tap it on the payment terminal held by the driver, then the fare is then automatically deducted. I thank UNTH for the contract and guarantee them 100% revenue from the buses, eliminating fund shortages due to driver dishonesty and fund siphoning.
We promise to install DVR cameras inside the buses for surveillance, aiming to ensure deepened passenger safety.”
