For bringing home the trophy, as it were, the Chief Executive Officer of the Lagos State Lottery and Gaming Authority, Mr. Bashir Are, has commended Governor Babatunde Sanwo-Olu for according him the support that ensured his recent appointment as a trustee of the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR). 

Recounting the gains of LSLGA’s participation at the just concluded IAGR in Bostwana, Are reasoned that his strategic positioning of Lagos resulted in the announcement of Lagos as the Africa headquarters of the International Gaming Standards Association.

In recognition of his expertise, experience and dedication to the proper regulation of gaming in line with global best practices, the Chief Executive Officer of the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority was appointed and announced as a member of the board of trustees of the International Association of Gaming Regulators at its recent conference in Botswana. Mr. Are fittingly dedicated the honour to Sanwo-Olu and to his team at the LSLGA.

“If you have all the brilliant ideas in this world, without the support of your principal, in this case, Mr. Governor and a team of dedicated staff, your success will be limited. That is why I am very grateful to Governor Sanwo-Olu who supports our work in the gaming industry as an integral part of his THEMES agenda. We cannot quantify the gains of having Lagos as the Africa headquarters of the International Gaming Standards Association,” said Are.
