As an evolving and dynamic industry, it is essential that the policies and regulations are in tandem with the evolution of Gaming. Velex Advisory; a compliance and Advisory firm with immense experience in West Africa, seeks to bridge the gap between existing regulations; compliance with laws and the assessment of the implication of enforcement of these laws on gaming operations in Nigeria. Velex aims to bring together key stakeholders in the industry to discuss the framework in Nigeria and how it may affect the future and evolution of Gaming. We understand the challenges faced by these operators and remain hopeful that this forum will address prevalent issues in the industry and provide an avenue to seek solutions to these issues. At the core, we in Velex remain focused on the growth and sustainability of gaming operations in Nigeria as the interest of every stakeholder and operator matters.
