Kwara govt: No November salary for workers without valid residents registration number

The Kwara State Government has urged public sector workers who are yet to register with the the state Residents’ Registration Agency, KWSRRA, to so immediately because anyone without it will not get the salary or bonuses in November.

This is contained in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Finance, Dr Hauwa Nuru, on Monday in Ilorin.

Mrs Nuru disclosed that the registration started in July.

The KWSRRA, she said, 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.

“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.

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

The commissioner noted that the KWSRRA registration was a vital step towards establishing a comprehensive and accurate database, “that enables us to serve Kwara residents more effectively and ensuring that every state worker registered strengthens our payroll system, enhances service delivery, and builds trust in our processes”.

“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 advised to do so,” she said.

She urged all the state employees who are yet to register to promptly visit the nearest KWSRRA centre to complete their enrollment.

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