The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MorRich Lottery Limited, Ambassador Abayomi Nurain Mumuni, has threw his weight behind the House of Representatives for passing the Central Gaming Bill 2025 for second reading, declaring that states have no power to regulate online gaming activities in Nigeria.
Mumuni made this declaration while reacting to a recent newspaper publication signed by some representatives of the Federation of State Gaming Regulators (FSGR) in objections to the Central Gaming Bill 2025.
The proposed bill sponsored by the Deputy Speaker of the House, Hon. Benjamin Kalu and six other lawmakers, seeks to create a comprehensive and harmonised regulatory framework for the operation of online businesses and remote gaming that transcend state boundaries and extend beyond Nigeria’s borders.
