A State House of Assembly is the legislative arm of the State Government. It is established by Section 90 of the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended and endowed with powers to legislate as well as privileges and immunities to enable it exercise these powers without hindrance.

The State House of Assembly is made up of  Honorable Members elected to represent their constituencies for a period of four (4) years per term. A State house of Assembly is led by a Speaker who is first among equals.

The purpose of the House of Assembly is to provide information on the scope of responsibilities, services and commitment for the entire people of Lagos State.

In Nigeria, each state has its house of assembly that makes and amends its laws.
