In Kwara State, workers are about to find themselves in serious trouble with the Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq-led government.
As we speak, the state government has initiated plans to withhold the workers’ salaries.
Luckily, this will only affect employees lacking a valid residency registration number from Kwara State.
A notice issued by the Kwara State government noted that will these workers will not be paid their salaries or bonuses starting from November 2024.
The warning was contained in a statement released in Ilorin on Monday by the state’s Finance Commissioner, Dr. Hauwa Nuru.
Nuru mentioned that the process of registering began a long time ago.
No Salaries From November
His words: “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.
“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 explained that the initiative will play a key role in resource management and planning within the state.
Data Integrity
His words: “The integrity of our data impacts all our financial and administrative systems.
A complete database helps us make informed decisions.

”It will help us 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.
“By following this directive, Kwara State is working to establish a more efficient and equitable system for its workforce and residents alike.”
For those asking, the Kwara State Residents Registration Agency (KWSRRA) is legally authorized to collect essential information from all residents.
They will also assign unique identification numbers to each individual.
This will enable efficient planning, management of resources, provision of services, and ensuring public safety, among other purposes.
