Nigeria Supreme Court issues ruling to scrap National Lottery Act

Nigerian member states applauded the Supreme Court's decision to declare the nation's National Lottery Act unconstitutional because it creates an environment that is conducive to innovation, responsible gaming, and job creation.


The Supreme Court declared last month that the Act's attempt to control gaming and lotteries throughout Nigeria was unconstitutional. Rather, it stated that states, not the federal government, have residual authority over gaming regulation.
