No November salary, bonus for civil servants – Kwara Govt

Kwara State Government has directed that none of its workers captured by its Residents Registration Agency (KWSRRA) will receive November salaries and the planned bonuses. 

“Effective November 2024, workers who have not registered will not receive salary payments or bonuses,” the commissioner for Finance Dr. Hauwa Nuru said.

The commissioner said the government plans 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.”

Nuru who disclosed this on Monday said the move “is in line with the state’s commitment to accountability and transparency in resource administration.”

She added that “a directive had since been issued mandating all state employees, including those across the 16 local governments, to complete their registration with KWSRRA. 

“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.”

Nuru in a statement by the ministry’s Press Secretary, Babatunde Toyin Abdulrasheed, said 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.

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