As the gaming industry in Nigeria continues to evolve, recent developments have sparked widespread interest and debate among stakeholders. Last year, the Supreme Court of Nigeria made a historic ruling, empowering states to regulate lottery and gaming activities within their jurisdictions.
In this landmark decision, the National Lottery Act of 2005 was nullified, paving the way for individual states to take control of their gaming industries for the first time.
To provide valuable insights into the implications of this ruling and shed light on the changing landscape of gaming in Nigeria, we are hosting a webinar on Friday, January 31st, 2025. This expert panel discussion will explore the opportunities and challenges that come with state-level regulation and predict what the future holds for the gaming industry in Nigeria.
