The Kwara State Government announced that public sector employees without valid Kwara State Residents Registration Agency (KWSRRA) numbers will not receive salaries or bonuses starting in November.
In a statement issued by the Ministry Press Secretary, Babatunde Toyin Abdulrasheed, Commissioner for Finance Hauwa Nuru highlighted that the registration process began several months ago.
KWSRRA is legally authorized to gather essential data on all residents in the state, assigning unique identification numbers to each individual to enhance planning, resource management, service delivery, public safety, and more.
“In line with the administration’s commitment to accountability and transparency in resource administration, a directive had since been issued mandating all state employees, including those across the 16 local government areas, to complete their registration KWSRRA.
“Effective November 2024, workers who have not registered will not receive salary payments or bonuses. The KWSRRA registration is a vital step toward establishing a comprehensive and accurate database that enables us to serve Kwara State residents more effectively.
“Ensuring that every state worker is registered strengthens our payroll system, enhances service delivery, and builds trust in our processes,” said Nuru.
Nuru stated that the initiative would play a crucial role in resource management and planning across the state.
The Commissioner encouraged state employees who had not yet registered to promptly visit the nearest KWSRRA registration centre to complete their enrollment, the statement added.
“The integrity of our data impacts all our financial and administrative systems. A complete database helps us make informed decisions, allocate resources efficiently, and ensure that every eligible worker is compensated fairly and accurately.”
“By following this directive, Kwara State is working to establish a more efficient and equitable system for its workforce and residents alike,” it stated.
