The Kwara State Government has announced that public workers without valid registration numbers from the Kwara State Residents Registration Agency will not receive their November salaries or bonuses.
The Commissioner for Finance, Dr. Hauwa Nuru, in a statement on Monday by the ministry’s spokesperson, Babatunde Abdulrasheed, said the directive was aimed at improving data accuracy for efficient service delivery and affects all state employees, including those in local government offices.
Nuru explained that KWSRRA is legally required to maintain records of all residents in the state and assign each one a unique ID. According to him, this data helps in resource management, service delivery, and public safety.
“In line with the administration’s commitment to accountability and transparency, 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,” said the commissioner.
The statement added that the KWSRRA registration is essential for creating a reliable database to ensure efficient services. Dr. Nuru emphasized that proper data management strengthens the payroll system and builds public trust in state processes.
“The integrity of our data impacts all our financial and administrative systems,” Dr. Nuru explained. “A complete database helps us make informed decisions, allocate resources efficiently, and ensure that every eligible worker is compensated fairly and accurately.”
State employees who have not yet registered are urged to visit their nearest KWSRRA registration center without delay.
