“The Boards and Leadership of KGL, NLA and Association of Lotto Marketing Companies are in final stages of discourse to settle on the seed amount as well as the criteria and modalities for Lotto Marketing Companies to access funds, which will go a long way to address the welfare challenges and concerns.
Together, we will take pragmatic steps to improve the conditions of the collective body of Lotto Marketers starting with this Welfare Fund,” he said

It is in response to these trends that the NLA has aligned to government’s policy on digitalization and is currently exploring digital solutions to safeguard and augment the revenue generating capacity of existing lottery sales channels.
One of such expansive initiatives is the partnership with KGL Technology Limited to promote lottery marketing through digital platforms such as the Keed-NLA’s online and *959# shortcode
