NLRC to Host International Gaming Conference to Boost Lottery

In its bid to expand the nation’s business frontiers and create more wealth for Nigerians, the federal government has approved the elevation of the annual gaming conference of the National Lottery Regulatory Commission NLRC to international standards to attract more foreign investments and inflow of resources to the country.

NLRC director-general Lanre Gbajabiamila disclosed this in a statement issued by Magnus Ekechukwu, the commission’s deputy director of public affairs, on Sunday on the preparations for the 2023 edition of the conference scheduled for October 31 and November 1.

Progressing from the success of the maiden edition of the conference, which had only key Nigerian stakeholders and players of the industry participating, Gbajabiamila stated that this year’s edition would have some “key potentates of the gaming industry in Africa and across the globe” in attendance.

According to him, the NLRC was deliberately creating chances and openings for the Nigerian gaming industry leaders and potential investors to interact and connect with the best gaming industry giants across the world to upgrade their businesses, generate more resources and enhance the winnings for Nigerians.

With the theme, ‘Innovation and Disruptions: Core Strategies for Success’, the 2023 International Gaming Conference will be held at the prestigious Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island Lagos, featuring presentations, exhibitions, panel discussions and gala night, where awards would be given to outstanding stakeholders and players in different categories.

“With the new international status of the gaming conference, the National Lottery Regulatory Commission, stakeholders, players and prospective investors have a lot to achieve in the professionally and dexterously packaged two-day conference,” said the statement.
