KWASRRA targets 3m Kwarans as 270,000 registered so far

The Kwara State Residents Registration Agency (KWASRRA) has disclosed that it has registered over 270,000 Kwarans in its continuous registration exercise, saying the mandate of the Agency is to get all the residents of the state registered for proper identification and data capturing.

The agency said it has employed about 300 youths to work for the success of the exercise.

The Acting General Manager of KWASRRA, Mr Tajudeen Jimoh, made this known at the inter-ministerial press briefing organised by the Kwara State Ministry of Communications.

Mr Jimoh, while highlighting the success recorded by the Agency for the period under review, said it has successfully registered all civil servants and allocated registration centres across the sixteen Local Government Areas of the State,

He said the agency also has a KWASRRA website to make registration seamless, hassle-free and less time-consuming, adding that delivery and distribution of SSID cards to their owners and the ongoing registration of pensioners and students are also part of the achievements recorded so far.

He furthered, “The Agency shall open up the registration exercise to all residents of Kwara State as soon as relevant approval is gotten. This move is aimed at ensuring that no resident is left out and to meet the target of the exercise of registering three million Kwarans.”

“It is also heartwarming to note that those who have activated the account associated with the registration have started making use of it for different financial transactions, he added.”
