Kwara govt: No November salary for workers without residency number

The Kwara State Government has urged public sector workers who are yet to register with the Kwara State Residents Registration Agency (KWSRRA) to do so immediately, saying anyone without it will not receive the salary or bonuses in November 2024.

The Kwara State Commissioner for Finance, Dr Hauwa Nuru, made this known in a statement on Monday, November 11.

Nuru said the registration commenced in July.

She said KWSRRA is empowered by law to have relevant data of every resident in Kwara State and allocate unique identities to each person for effective planning, resource management, service delivery, and public safety, among others.

The commissioner stated: “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.

“The KWSRRA registration is 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 is 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.

“All state employees who have not yet registered are advised to do so.”

Nuru 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, the Kwara State Government is working to establish a more efficient and equitable system for its workforce and residents alike,” Nuru added.
