The National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC) was established through the National Lottery Act of 2005 in Nigeria. The primary purpose of the NLRC is to regulate the operations of lottery businesses, ensuring transparency, accountability, and the protection of the interests of players, stakeholders, and the general public. The Commission aims to promote fair play, honesty, and integrity within the lottery industry.

The NLRC is responsible for setting standards, guidelines, and rules for the operation of national lotteries in collaboration with licensees. It also conducts periodic assessments of lottery operations and submits reports to the President and the National Assembly.

The Commission is headed by a Director-General, currently Lanre Gbajabiamila, and operates under the oversight of a Governing Board.

In addition to its regulatory functions, the NLRC is committed to using leading technologies and effective management practices to enhance the lottery business for social and economic development.

The Commission also organizes events like the National Gaming Conference to engage stakeholders and promote the growth of the lottery industry in Nigeria.
