The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Lagos State Lottery and Gaming Authority (LDLGA), Mr. Bashir Abiola-Are, who was recently appointed as a Trustee of the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR), has commended Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, attributing his new achievement to the support given to him and his agency by the state’s helmsman.
Abiola-Are was recently appointed and announced as a member of the Board of Trustees of IAGR at its recent conference held in Botswana. The appointment was in recognition of the Lagos lottery boss’s expertise, experience, and dedication to the proper regulation of gaming in line with global best practices.
Recounting the gains of LSLGA’s participation at the just-concluded IAGR in Botswana, Abiola-Are stated that the strategic positioning of Lagos State by Governor Sanwo-Olu resulted in the announcement of Lagos as the Africa headquarters of the International Gaming Standards Association.
Abiola-Are, who noted that having all the brilliant ideas in this world, without the support of one’s principal, among others, would amount to nothing, equally dedicated his latest elevation in the gaming industry to Governor Sanwo-Olu and his team at the LSLGA.
“If you have all the brilliant ideas in this world, without the support of your principal, in this case, Mr. Governor, and a team of dedicated staff, your success will be limited. That is why I am very grateful to Governor Sanwo-Olu, who supports our work in the gaming industry as an integral part of his THEMES Plus agenda. We cannot quantify the gains of having Lagos as the Africa headquarters of the International Gaming Standards Association,” he said.
