The President noted that the NLTF was a testament to what could be achieved “when we work together towards a common goal.
“The Strategic Plan we are about to unveil today is designed to create opportunities for every Nigerian in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of our administration.”
Tinubu noted that his administration was conscious of the significant role the gaming industry played in national development.
“This necessitates the adoption of revenue assurance platform to be launch soon so that Nigerians can benefit from the industry,” he said.
The President commended the new leadership of the National Lottery Trust Fund under Mr Tosin Adeyanju for purposeful leadership since assumption of office.
“I look forward to seeing greater results. I urge all stakeholders to join us in this effort to make a lasting impact on the lives of our rural communities,” Tinubu said.

He reiterated that the NLTF was committed to delivering good cause and worthwhile interventions across various sectors and in communities in need.
“So far, the NLTF has since its establishment in 2005, successfully implemented over 306 projects nationwide, touching lives and transforming communities.
“This, we have continued to do without interruption since my assumption of the mantle of the fund’s leadership.
“I wish to restate that we are open to ideas and innovations with moral limits as I make the pledge at this point to assure Mr President and Nigerians that we do not intend to fail,” Adeyanju said.
He expressed gratitude to Tinubu for finding him worthy to be appointed to steer the affairs of the organisation.
