The Supreme Court’s landmark decision in AG Lagos State v. AG Federation (2024) has reshaped Nigeria’s gaming regulatory landscape, affirming that states and not the federal government have the authority to regulate gaming within their territories.

In response, we have developed the Gaming & Lottery Law and Regulatory Tracker – a comprehensive, state-by-state breakdown of Nigeria’s evolving gaming regulations and licensing framework, based on information available from each state.

Compiled by our Partner, Sumbo Akintola, alongside Senior Associate, Timothy Ogele, and Associates, Yetunde Olashore and Ameenat Aguda, this live tracker serves as a vital resource for industry stakeholders, investors, and businesses. It helps navigate the shifting regulatory landscape, identify licensing requirements, and stay informed on key developments.

As states refine their regulatory approaches, we will continue updating this tracker to reflect the latest changes in the sector.
