The National Chamber of Licensed Banker to Banker Lotto Operators and Agents have pledged their commitment to assist other Lotto Operators and Agents to pay the new registration fees being initiated by the National Lottery Authority (NLA).

The Operators see the new fees which ranges between GHC100,000 and GHC1 million as a move in the right direction and are appealing to other operators to support it.

The Ghana National Chamber of Licensed Banker to Banker Lotto Operators and Agents founded by Mr. Frank Adjei has about 200 Lotto Agents, 170 Lotto Sub-Agents and over 150, 000 Lotto Writers across Ghana. This is the largest and strongest Banker to Banker Lotto Group in Ghana.

Mr. Frank Adjei was the first Lotto Operator in Ghana to pay the One Million Ghana Cedis to the NLA as License Fees on 15th March 2018.

Other lotto operators and agents in the country have kicked against the license fees as a killer one and needs to be reduced.

But in a press statement issued the Ghana National Chamber of Licensed Banker-Banker Lotto Operators and Agents and signed by its Founder and Executive Chairman, Mr. Frank Adjei has indicated that their doors are open to other lotto operators who are unable to pay the license fees approved by the Board of NLA.

"The doors of Ghana National Chamber of Licensed Banker to Banker Lotto Operators and Agents under the leadership of Mr Frank Adjei are open to lotto operators, agents and writers who are ready to work with us due to their inability to pay the license fees approved by the Board of NLA. We will assist such operators, agents and writers to pay their license fees to the NLA and subsequently work for us", he assured.

The statement commended the Director-General of NLA, Mr. Kofi Osei-Ameyaw for modernising the operation of lotto businesses in the country by given the Banker-Banker and other agents to be registered under the PPP initiative.

The statement also described any group of people kicking against the registration and license fees for Banker-Banker Lotto business as 'Nation Wreckers' and therefore urging the government, media and general public to ignore such characters.

The statement is therefore calling on security agencies and government to take a quick action and arrest foreigners especially the Nigerians and Chinese who operating lotto businesses in Ghana.

Below is the full statement
