The Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has received a report of the Working Committee on the Otumfuo Lottery Game.
The report was presented by representatives of the National Lottery Authority (NLA) led by Kofi Osei-Ameyaw, State Enterprise Commission (SEC) led by Stephen Asamoah Boateng and representatives of the Asante Monarchy led by Nana Akwasi Prempeh. The presentation which was done last Friday sought his approval and blessings for the proposal.
At the meeting which took place at Manhyia Palace in Kumasi was a representative of the National Association of Private Lotto Operators and Agents in the person of Frank Adjei.
The Working Committee is responsible to the Asantehene for the successful implementation of the Otumfuo Lottery Game. The Game would be in a form of Scratch Cards, Number Game and Raffles.
The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II was very impressed about the work done so far by the committee as he commended Kofi Osei-Ameyaw for his commitment towards the development of Ghana and Asanteman.
According to the Asantehene, the NLA initiative would be supportive of the numerous development initiatives championed by the Otumfuo Charity Foundation across the country such as the quality healthcare delivery and the scholarship and quality education programme among others.
The Director-General of the NLA Kofi Osei-Ameyaw reassured Asantehene that, the National Lottery Authority with the support of State Enterprise Commission, the Working Committee and other Stakeholders would do everything possible to ensure the successful roll out of the Otumfuo Lottery Game to the benefit of Asanteman and Ghana.
Asamoah Boateng also indicated that as a supervisory body of State Enterprises, he would ensure that such a laudable project by NLA under Kofi Osei-Ameyaw becomes a success.
