In a candid conversation with Public Gaming International, Member of Parliament and former Director General of Ghana's National Lottery Authority (NLA), Sammi Awuku, reflected on his continued commitment to lottery-related public policy, even after transitioning from the NLA to Parliament. "After serving three and a half years as Director General of the NLA, I have become quite passionate about issues concerning the lottery," Awuku told Paul Jason of PGI.
While his title may have changed, his focus has not.
As he puts it, the lottery in Ghana is more than a game-it's a vehicle for national development.
Awuku noted that the NLA plays a crucial role in Ghana's socioeconomic structure, channeling proceeds into the consolidated fund that supports education, housing, and health.
