Hammed Shittu in Ilorin

Kwara State Government has said that public civil servants in the state that cannot present their  valid State Residents Registration Agency (KWSRRA) number will not receive salary or bonuses from November, 2024.

KWSRRA is empowered by law to have relevant data of everyone resident in the state and allocate unique identities to each person for effective planning, resource management, service delivery, and public safety, among others. 

A statement issued in Ilorin yesterday  by the Commissioner for Finance Dr. Hauwa Nuru,  said: “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 with KWSRRA.

“Effective November 2024, workers who have not registered will not receive salary payments or bonuses.”

 “The KWSRRA registration is a vital step towards 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.”

The statement quoted Dr. Nuru as saying 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,” she added.

All state employees who have not yet registered are urged to promptly visit the nearest KWSRRA registration centre to complete their enrollment, the statement added.

“By following this directive, Kwara State is working to establish a more efficient and equitable system for its workforce and residents alike,” it stated.
