Then, on the 9th, they will join the NLA bigger community to have the NLA at 60 durbar which will be presided over by His Excellency the President and then we can have an ALA awards event on maybe the 10th. These are all partnership between us and the African lottery body but before then, we are taking steps to make sure that Ghana is certified by December for responsible gaming", he expounded.
