In a bid to promote responsible gaming and maximize the positive impact of lottery proceeds, the National Lottery Trust Fund (NLTF) has commenced a nationwide sensitization campaign across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones. The initiative, launched by NLTF’s Executive Secretary, Comrade Tosin Adeyanju, aims to raise awareness about the organization’s intervention projects funded by betting remittances and their role in uplifting communities through "good causes."
During the event, Adeyanju highlighted the importance of responsible participation in lottery activities, urging Nigerians not to focus solely on gaming benefits but to recognize the far-reaching effects of the funds remitted to the government. He reaffirmed NLTF’s commitment to ensuring that these proceeds are used to support the downtrodden and strengthen community projects across the nation.
The campaign is part of a larger effort to educate Nigerians about the dual role of the lottery business: generating revenue for national development while mitigating potential negative consequences. Adeyanju assured that NLTF would continue to channel remittances into life-changing initiatives that contribute to the well-being of vulnerable populations.
The sensitization marks the beginning of a comprehensive effort to ensure that Nigerians understand how their participation in the lottery can be a force for good in society.
