President Bola Tinubu on Monday in Abuja unveiled a comprehensive four-year strategic plan aimed at transforming the National Lottery Trust Fund (NLTF) operations.
The President, who was represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume said the four-year strategic plan has potential to enhance the federal government’s outreach to marginalised communities.
He said: “This move is part of President Tinubu’s efforts to drive economic transformation, ensure security, enhance food production, and improve social services.
“Through the National Lottery Trust Fund, the president believes that help will reach many Nigerians, providing support to vulnerable individuals and communities.”
Tinubu commended the Executive Secretary of the agency, Tosin Adeyanju for his leadership, stressing that he is looking forward to seeing more prosperous results.
On his part, Adeyanju commended the president for his effort to introduce Revenue Assurance Platform (RAP) which he said would help the lottery industry to achieve its mandate.
He also commended Tinubu for his role in reshaping the lottery industry in the country.
He revealed that the four-year strategic plan of the NLTF was developed within the first two months of his assumption of office.
Adeyanju added: “Since 2005, NLTF has successfully implemented over 306 projects nationwide, touching lives and transforming communities.
“NLTF is committed to delivering good causes and worthwhile interventions across various sectors and in communities in need. Our strategic plan aligns with the current administration’s vision for sustainable development and social welfare.
Also, the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, commended Adeyanju for his outstanding achievements within a few months of appointment.
