The Kwara State Residents Registration Agency (KWASRRA) has so far employed about 300 youths and registered over 270,000 Kwarans in its continuous registration exercise. The Acting General Manager of KWASRRA, Mr. Tajudeen Jimoh stated this at the inter-ministerial press briefing, organized by the Kwara State Ministry of Communications. He disclosed that the mandate of the Agency which is to register all Kwara State residents is anchored on the target of registering three million Kwarans based on projections from the last population census, which puts the population of Kwara State at 2.3 million as at 2006. Mr. Jimoh highlighted the successes of the Agency for the period under review to include: registration of all civil servants and allocation of registration centres across the sixteen Local Government Areas of the State, the launch of KWASRRA website in order to make the registration seamless, hassle-free and less time consuming, delivery and distribution of SSID cards to their owners, and the ongoing registration of pensioners and students, which is recording steady progress. The Acting General Manager also disclosed plans by the Agency to open up the registration exercise to all residents soon. “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,” he said. “Among the successes already recorded by the Agency is the registration of 270,000 residents of Kwara State within five months of the registration exercise. “This figure is expected to rise sharply as more residents embrace the online registration option and as soon as the registration is opened to all residents,” he added.
