Kwara: Govt. rules out November salary, bonus for workers without KWSRRA number

The Kwara State Government has issued a warning that starting in November 2024, workers who do not possess a valid Kwara State Residents Registration number will be ineligible to receive salaries or bonuses.

Dr. Hauwa Nuru, the state’s Commissioner for Finance, shared the update in a statement on Monday.

She noted that the registration exercise had been underway for several months, emphasizing the importance of compliance to avoid disruptions in payments.

“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,” according to a statement by the Commissioner for Finance Dr. Hauwa Nuru.

“Effective November 2024, workers who have not registered will not receive salary payments or bonuses.

“The KWSRRA registration is a vital step toward establishing a comprehensive and accurate database that enables us to serve Kwara State residents more effectively.

“Ensuring that every state worker is registered strengthens our payroll system, enhances service delivery, and builds trust in our processes.”

The statement quoted Dr. Nuru as saying that the initiative will play a key role in resource management and planning within the state.

“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 urged to promptly visit the nearest KWSRRA registration centre to complete their enrollment, the statement added.

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