Kwara State Government has said public sector workers without valid KWSRRA number will not receive salary or bonuses from November, 2024, recalling that this exercise started many months ago.
This is contained in a statement by the State Commissioner for Finance, Hawau Nuru in Ilorin
Doctor Nuru said Kwara State Residents Registration Agency (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.
According to the statement, 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
She said effective November 2024, workers who have not registered will not receive salary payments or bonuses.
The State Government described KWSRRA registration is a vital step toward establishing a comprehensive and accurate database that enables us to serve Kwara State residents more effectively as the initiative will play a key role in resource management and planning within the state.
The Commissioner said the integrity of the data impacts all financial and administrative systems as a complete database helps to make informed decisions, allocate resources efficiently, and ensure that every eligible worker is compensated fairly and accurately.
She maintained that all state employees who have not yet registered are urged to promptly visit the nearest KWSRRA registration centre to complete their enrollment.
