The management of the National Lottery Authority (NLA) has presented a cheque of Ghc 500000 and a new Toyota Land Cruiser Prado to the leadership of the Veteran Administration of Ghana (VAG).

The donation is in fulfilment of a promise made to VAG four years ago by NLA.

Per an agreement, the NLA is the sole authority that manages the lottery platform of VAG in Ghana.

The NLA is binded by the agreement to make monthly contributions to the VAG leadership.

Board Chairman of the NLA, Francis Nyonyo said "the NLA has a duty to play as far as VAG is concerned, so today we are here to do the needful".

He added that the NLA will continue to collaborate with VAG to clean the lotto industry in Ghana " VAG is helping the NLA to rid the lotto industry of illegal operators, when they are caught the claim to be working with VAG but that is not the case so the NLA is in a joint venture with VAG to clean the sector".

The Executive Director of VAG, Captain (rtd) Edmund Ben Duah, on his part, thanked the NLA for the gesture and pledged VAG's commitment to help NLA achieve its objectives.

"We at VAG are pleased with this move by NLA, we are excited about this partnership and its out prayer that it moves from strength to strength", he said.
