Collect what the informal sector owes. In full.
Markets, shops, transport and waste on one system. Traders and drivers buy their levy in days, from any phone; the money goes straight to the State account, held by nobody on the way, and your Board sees every naira the day it is paid. Nothing negotiable, nothing to sell, nothing left unaccounted for.
The amount is not the problem. The timing is.
Market traders, street shops, keke and bus drivers, households paying for waste: millions of people who earn daily and spend daily. None of them is refusing the tax. Asked for the year in one piece, most cannot assemble it. The money exists across the year; it does not exist on the day it is asked for.
So willing payers go unpaid, shops are written off as having no capacity, and enforcement is spent on people who genuinely have nothing, while the State carries the blame. Ovend changes the shape of the payment, not the amount: the same levy, bought in days, from the phone already in the payer's pocket.
Others move the payment. Ovend closes the gap.
Other systems give the payment a new channel and leave the space around it as it was: money handed to somebody to complete, a payment the payer cannot confirm, a register that depends on who was present that day. That space, between the payer's pocket and the State account, is where revenue is lost. Ovend closes it, and the State can see it closed from its own dashboard.
Every informal-sector revenue. One system.
Start with the revenue the State does not now receive, and add the rest when you are ready. Each service works the same way, so payers learn once and the Board sees every stream in one place.
Markets and shops
Traders in markets and on the streets keep their shops covered in amounts they can manage, from any phone.
Transport
Daily tickets and yearly vehicle fees, paid before the vehicle moves.
Waste management
Homes and businesses pay waste charges in the same simple way, with every premises on the register.
And more
Other State and local government taxes, levies and permits are added as your State needs them, without changing how people pay.
A complete register
Every shop, market stall and building counted in the field by an accountable team and kept current, at no cost to the State budget.
Dashboards for the Board and Government House
Revenue and compliance by service, location and LGA, ready to act on and to print.
Audit you can stand behind
Every naira traced from the bank to the taxpayer and the service it paid for.
A field team you can hold to account
Every officer verified in person before they start, measured every day, and paid for results the Board can see.
More people paying. Nothing to bargain over.
Ovend raises compliance the way people accept it: easy to pay, the same for everyone, and told to the payer directly. A trader who cannot find the year's levy at once can find a fortnight's, and pays it. A State that was writing that shop off receives it.
And the Executive Governor stays in control: targets, levies and when they are collected are the Governor's to set, and any change an officer proposes waits for approval.
-
Told before anything is owed
An SMS before cover ends, a grace period after, and a Tax Relationship Manager assigned to every shop, who calls first.
-
One levy, one account, one receipt
One payment for one shop or vehicle, never twice. Fixed, published charges, and every payment confirmed to the payer.
-
Nothing to sell, nothing to bargain over
Nobody stands between the payer and the State: no cash is handed to anyone, and every payer can check their own status at any time.
-
Notices anyone can verify
A final notice comes only after the grace period, and anyone, including the police, can confirm it is genuine by USSD.
-
Fair when life is hard
Penalty waivers for real hardship, capped and reviewed by a supervisor. Levy-free periods the Governor can declare.
-
Officers you can hold to account
Every officer is verified in person, every action is on record, pay follows verified results, and no officer ever handles the money. The system watches itself: a manager whose waivers run far above his peers is flagged without anyone needing to complain.
Proven before it reaches the public.
Full system details, pricing and controls are shared with revenue boards under agreement.
