Lottery Act Amendment: Reps Constitutes Technical Committee

The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Governmental Affairs, Honourable Akin Alabi has constituted a technical committee to review the 2017 National Lottery Act.

Constituting the Committee in Abuja on Tuesday, he said the House Committee which oversees the gambling industry in Nigeria discovered the inadequacy of laws that could sustain the industry, saying there was need for amendment to the act to make the industry more robust.

Hon. Alabi said the industry is a sophisticated one that is technologically-driven, noting that the current law had become obsolete.
