Lottery Commission Lauds EFCC for N1bn Remittance To FG

The National Lottery Trust Fund (NLTF) has expressed gratitude to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for its intervention making two frontline lottery operators: Premier Lotto a.k.a Baba Ijebu and KC Gaming, a.k.a Bet9ja to remit a total of N1billion to the federal government, being arrears of debt they owed as a result of either neglect or refusal to remit 20 per cent of their turnover to government through NLTF as required by law.

The board and management of NLTF recently conveyed its appreciation to the Commission. The letter was signed by the Executive Secretary of the Fund, Bello Maigari.

According to Maigari, “We are pleased to report that due to the diligent execution of the on-going strategic engagement between the NLTF, NLRC and the EFCC, recovery of unremitted fees by some lottery operators has been made.

“The board and management of NLTF wish to convey our appreciation for your patriotic intervention in ensuring the immediate recovery of government’s due remittances for good causes. Furthermore, we commend the EFCC team spearheading the exercise for their doggedness and professionalism in rooting out corruption in the sector and restoring sanity to lottery and gaming operations.”
