The Kwara State House of Assembly is the legislative arm of the government of Kwara State of Nigeria.[1] [2] It is a unicameral legislature having 24 members elected from the 16 local government areas of the state. Local government areas with considerable lager population are delineated into two constituencies to give equal representation.

The fundamental functions of the Assembly are to enact new laws, amend or repeal existing laws and oversight of the executive.[4] [5] Members of the assembly are elected for a term of four years concurrent with federal legislators (Senate and House of Representatives). The state assembly convenes three times a week (Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays) in the assembly complex within the state capital, Ilorin.
