The Kwara State Government has urged public sector workers to register with the Kwara State Residents’ Registration Agency as those who fail to obtain a valid resident registration number will not receive their November salary or bonuses.
The state commissioner for finance, Dr Hauwa Nuru, disclosed this in a statement in Ilorin on Monday, noting that the registration started in July.
Dr. Nuru, in the statement signed by the ministry’s Press Secretary, Babatunde Abdulrasheed, said the KWSRRA, is mandated by law to have relevant data on every 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 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,” 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 enrolment.
“By following this directive, Kwara government is working to establish a more efficient and equitable system for its workforce and residents alike,” she said.
