The project’s key deliverables include the successful implementation of the Revenue Assurance Platform (RAP), recovery of outstanding revenues, and policy recommendations to further improve the sector.

In his remarks during the meeting, the Minister emphasized the importance of boosting domestic resources to support Nigeria’s economy and social programmes. 

He explained that the lottery and gaming sector, through RAP, will ensure transparent revenue collection while protecting consumers from fraudulent activities.

Edun, therefore, urged all committee members to work collaboratively, assuring them of the government’s support in achieving the project’s goals.

Thus, with Project Phoenix, Nigeria is taking a significant step towards harnessing the potential of the lottery and gaming industry to drive socio- economic development of the country.
