Authority Implements Identification System to Combat Illegal Operations

NLA Director General Mohammed Abdul-Salam led discussions with LMC Chairman Francis Opoku addressing major sector challenges. “Abdul-Salam highlighted that one of the major challenges of the Authority is clamping down on activities of unregistered lotto operators. The introduction of new identification stickers and other strategies would help manage the situation effectively,” according to an NLA press release.

Executives discussed contracts with KGL, a private technology company managing digital lottery operations partnered with the NLA. The agreements were central to transparency and efficiency enhancement discussions alongside third-party collaborator contracts. The meeting covered LMCs’ Stabilisation Fund reserves for operational stability and Legacy Debt covering outstanding past obligations. Abdul-Salam stated matters concerning contracts, the Stabilisation Fund, and Legacy Debt are subject to Board decisions.

Operational modernization represented another key discussion topic, with state-of-the-art terminal testing currently underway. “Once completed, the terminals will be made available to the LMCs to enhance their operations and improve productivity,” Abdul-Salam stated. The director general encouraged executives to formally submit grievances and proposals for Board deliberations.

Abdul-Salam thanked executives for their initiative in addressing operational matters. LMC Chairman Francis Opoku welcomed the engagement opportunity to discuss operational and regulatory matters with the Authority. The meeting addressed transparency, efficiency, and modernization objectives.
