The Kwara State Government has announced that workers without a valid Kwara State Residents Registration number will not receive their salary or bonuses starting November 2024, according to reports.
Dr. Hauwa Nuru, the state Commissioner for Finance, made this announcement in a statement on Monday in Ilorin.
She reminded residents that the registration process had been ongoing for several months.
The Kwara State Residents Registration Agency (KWSRRA) is legally authorized to collect data on all residents in the state and assign unique identities for better planning, resource management, service delivery, and public safety.
“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,” according to Nuru.
The statement explained that the initiative will play a key role in resource management and planning within the state.
“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.
“All state employees who have not yet registered are urged to promptly visit the nearest KWSRRA registration centre to complete their enrollment.
“By following this directive, Kwara State is working to establish a more efficient and equitable system for its workforce and residents alike,” the statement added.
