The Supreme Court of Nigeria has made a groundbreaking ruling that confirms only states of the federation have the power to regulate lottery and all gaming activities in Nigeria!
This judgment nullifies the National Lottery Act (NLA) in its entirety, paving the way for states to take control of their gaming industries. As noted in the Supreme Court’s ruling, lottery regulation falls outside the Exclusive Legislative List of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) [1).
This decision is a significant milestone for the gaming industry in Nigeria, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on our economy and society.
Let’s celebrate this victory and work together to build a thriving gaming industry in Nigeria!
