The terms of reference of the committee include: To identify all basic parameters contingent to the creation of Local Government Council Development Areas using variables peculiar to the Kwara environment while borrowing creative experiences from other states that have traveled such a path; to consider all factors realted to viability (Internally Generated Revenue, population, land area etc.) in suggesting and earmarking an area as qualified for Local Government Council Development Area, identify a suitable community as headquarters, taking due cognizance of precedence in age long administrative responsibility like being district headquarters in arriving at the choice.

To consider size as a prime factor in the creation of the development areas to ensure uniformity across board, equity and equal stake in the overall Kwara project.

It is also said that the committee will assess the possibility of converting the existing districts into Development Area Councils, with little adjustment where it is found absolutely necessary.

Furthermore, the Committee is to ensure shared aspirations, congruency in worldview and ability to work collectively for the overall interest of the Development Area in creating them to ensure accelerated development and growth of the administrative units so created.
