Akpuchukwu calls for unified gaming licence amid Nigeria tax concerns
At the Enugu Gaming Conference 2025, legal expert Obinna Akpuchukwu said additional levies and fines burden Nigerian gaming operators. He cited fines of ₦100m each against betting companies in Imo State over alleged environmental infractions. Akpuchukwu said a unified gaming licence remains under development following Supreme Court developments that brought state regulators into negotiations.
Operators and prospective investors face uncertainty over licensing and additional levies while a unified licence remains unfinished.
