The Kwara State Government
has called on workers who have not received their November salaries and bonuses
to visit the nearest offices of the Kwara State Resident Registration Agency
(KWSRRA) for resolution.
The State Government, through
the Ministry of Finance also clarified why some workers have not received their
November salary and bonus, stating that the delay is due to incomplete
registration with the Kwara State Resident Registration Agency (KWSRRA).
According to a statement by
Babatunde Toyin Abdulrasheed, the Press Secretary, Ministry of Finance, the
state government has already disbursed the November salary to many workers, but
some are yet to receive theirs because they have not completed their KWSRRA
registration as previously instructed.
The government had announced
on November 11 that salary and bonus payments would only be processed for
workers who had completed their registration with KWSRRA, a process that has
been open for over six months.
Dr. Hauwa Nuru, the Commissioner
for Finance, urged affected workers to visit the nearest KWSRRA office to
resolve any outstanding registration issues.
“The state government has
since started disbursing the salary for the month of November, and many workers
have received across MDAs. The bonus will follow shortly after like before,”
Dr. Nuru explained.
She also noted that the
disbursement process is being carried out in batches due to the new
registration system, which ensures that each worker’s updated data and
biometric information are accurately reflected in the payroll.
The ministry emphasized that
the registration is vital for promoting data-driven planning, improving the
integrity of the payroll system, and enhancing public accountability and
safety.
"Being the first since
KWSRRA registration is implemented, the disbursement is done in batches as
government carefully inputs updated data and biometric of each worker to the
payroll. This exercise is to encourage data-driven planning and resource
allocation, strengthen the integrity of the payroll, deepen efficiency and
public accountability, and promote public safety."
Workers who have not received
their salary are encouraged to complete their registration with KWSRRA to
facilitate the processing of their payments.
“State workers who do not see
theirs may need to visit the nearest KWSRRA offices for registration . This is
in the interest of everyone.”
In addition, local government
workers and teachers from the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) are
also being paid following their KWSRRA clearance.
“The directive requiring all
state employees, including those in the 16 local government areas, to register
with the KWSRRA is a strategic step toward improving accountability and service
delivery. This registration has been open for over six months, allowing
sufficient time for compliance.”
The government remained
committed to the timely payment of salaries, a hallmark of the AbdulRahman
AbdulRazaq administration, according to the statement.
