Nigeria’s lottery regulators dispute authority over Lagos gaming activity
Nigeria’s National Lottery Regulatory Commission and the Lagos State Lottery and Gaming Authority issued conflicting positions on which operators may conduct gaming business in Lagos, according to a media report. The report said the state authority had cautioned betting companies over alleged unlawful activity, while the federal commission said some operators it named were authorised to operate nationally.
Conflicting regulatory positions leave operators uncertain about which rules and licensing requirements apply in Lagos.
