ARGN Welcomes Prince Arinze Arum to its Advisory Board: A Major Step for Player Proctection in Africa
The African Responsible Gaming Network (ARGN) is delighted to welcome Prince Arinze Arum, CEO of the Enugu State Gaming and Lottery Commission, Nigeria, to its Advisory Board.
This is more than an appointment; it is a powerful statement about the future of responsible gaming in Africa.
Having a gaming regulator take an active leadership role in advancing responsible gaming and player protection across the continent is both encouraging and significant. It demonstrates the importance of bringing regulators, treatment professionals, researchers, industry stakeholders, and people with lived experience together to address gambling-related harm.
Prince Arinze Arum deserves immense recognition for taking this step. His decision to join ARGN sends an important message that the future of gaming regulation must go beyond licensing, revenue generation, and industry growth. It must also prioritise the people behind the numbers, the players, their families, and the communities affected by gambling-related harm.
Africa needs leaders who understand that a sustainable gaming industry must be built on strong safeguards, responsible practices, effective age verification, meaningful self-exclusion, and accessible support for those experiencing gambling harm.
Prince Arinze’s participation in ARGN creates an important opportunity to strengthen collaboration between regulators and independent responsible gaming advocates, share knowledge across jurisdictions, and develop practical solutions that respond to Africa’s unique challenges.
At ARGN, we believe that player protection must not be an afterthought; it must be at the heart of gaming regulation.
We are proud to welcome Prince Arinze Arum to this journey and look forward to the experience, regulatory insight, and commitment he brings to our collective mission.
His decision represents an encouraging step towards a future where Africa can build a gaming ecosystem that protects its people while promoting accountability and responsible growth.
Welcome to the African Responsible Gaming Network, Prince Arinze Arum. Together, let us make player protection a continental priority.
