WORDS ON MARBLE

The gaming and lottery industry, which so many people don’t understand, consists of any game of chance. Be it slots, casinos, scratch-and-win games, promotions of ‘buy one, get two free’, or any game of chance, anybody who does that is in the gaming industry.  That is what it means when you see commercial commodities saying that ‘this promo is approved by the National Lottery Regulatory Commission,’ even for financial institutions. It is an impactful part of the economy. Under my administration, our focus is to ensure that practitioners and workers, regardless of their class in this industry, become professionals and acceptable to society, not as agents of gambling, not as promoters of an ill trade, but as promoters of a ray of hope.

-David Omaghomi, incoming President of National Union of Gaming and Lottery Workers (NUGLOW)
