The Zamfara State House of Assembly serves as the legislative powerhouse of the state. Like all state assemblies in Nigeria, it operates as a unicameral legislature, meaning there is only one chamber responsible for making laws. With 24 members representing different constituencies across the state, the assembly plays a pivotal role in shaping governance, ensuring accountability, and protecting the interests of the people.
Each Member of the House of Assembly (MHA) is elected directly by the people to represent their constituency. Their responsibilities include debating and passing laws, scrutinizing the actions of the executive, and addressing the pressing needs of the communities they serve.
The assembly’s work directly impacts the peace, order, and good governance of Zamfara. By crafting policies tailored to local needs, it ensures that governance is not just about broad policies but about addressing grassroots realities. Understanding the assembly helps citizens recognize the importance of civic participation, especially in elections.
