The 2025 Nigeria Gaming Bill

The 2025 Nigeria Gaming Bill

The Nigeria's Gaming and Betting industry is changing speedily as, it is characterized by controversial sectoral regulations and an urgent need for legal and regulatory stability. The Supreme Court's decision to declare the National Lottery Act of 2005 unconstitutional in November 2024 was a major step in this direction. The nullification came after Lagos State and other Federation states sued the National Assembly in 2008, arguing that it lacked the authority to enact laws pertaining to lottery operations.
