However, the primary functions of the Assembly encompass passing new laws, amending or repealing existing ones, and overseeing the activities of the executive branch.
Members of the Assembly are elected for four-year terms, with federal legislators in the Senate and House of Representatives.
Convening three times weekly, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, the Adamawa State House of Assembly holds its sessions in the assembly complex located in the state capital, Yola. This regular schedule underscores the commitment of the Assembly to its legislative duties and responsibilities.
