#KwaraRising
TheKwara State Government has directed all residents to register with the Kwara State Residents Registration Agency (KWSRRA) as part of efforts to enhance security, provide scholarships, and drive economic development through accurate resident data.
In a statement issued over the weekend, KWSRRA confirmed that Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq had mandated the agency to register every resident and issue them a unique State Security Identification (SSID) number/card.
According to the Acting General Manager of KWSRRA, Tajudeen Jimoh, the registration exercise is currently ongoing at 96 centres across the state, with plans to expand further. He noted that the agency is collaborating with key government ministries and agencies to mobilise residents for the crucial initiative.
“We are working closely with the Ministries of Education and Human Capital Development, Tertiary Education, Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, and the Kwara State Social Investment Programmes to ensure smooth registration,” Jimoh said.
The SSID number will now be required for several government services, including exam registration for Common Entrance, JSSCE, and SSCE, access to scholarships and grants, admissions into state-owned tertiary institutions, and other official services.
“Going forward, students registering for any exams or seeking scholarships will need to provide their SSID numbers, along with those of their parents or guardians,” Jimoh explained.
The state government has already captured all civil servants and pensioners in the SSID system, marking significant progress in building a reliable database of residents.
Officials emphasize that the initiative is crucial for security, economic planning, and effective governance, urging all residents to participate in the exercise to enhance state development and public welfare.
