Monrovia/NLA/May 12, 2026 -The Board of Directors and Management of the National Lottery Authority (NLA) have announced the formal presentation of a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement document to Seven Blue Liberia Limited for the deployment of an advanced, end-to-end online licensing and regulatory management solution aimed at transforming the operations of Liberia’s gaming and lottery sector.
The agreement, which was officially signed on April 2, 2026, was presented during a ceremony held Monday at the Office of the Board Chairman of NLA on Capitol Hill on Monday, May 11, 2026.
It marks another major step in the National Lottery Authority’s ongoing institutional reform agenda focused on transparency, accountability, efficiency, and digital modernization.
Speaking during the formal presentation ceremony, Director General of the National Lottery Authority, Peter L. Solo, described the partnership as a significant milestone in the Authority’s efforts to strengthen regulatory oversight and align Liberia’s lottery and gaming sector with international best practices.
According to Hon. Solo, the newly approved system will introduce a modern digital platform equipped with sophisticated technological capabilities, including real-time operational data access, automated audit trails, integrated compliance monitoring tools, and enhanced reporting mechanisms designed to improve institutional performance and operational efficiency across the Authority.
He noted that the deployment of the comprehensive licensing solution will greatly streamline licensing and monitoring processes while ensuring improved revenue assurance and transparency within the gaming and lottery industry.
“The National Lottery Authority remains committed to implementing modern systems that will not only improve efficiency but also reinforce public trust and confidence in the management and regulation of the gaming and lottery sector,” Hon. Solo stated.
He further emphasized that the platform will enable management and regulatory teams to gain timely access to accurate, verifiable, and transparent operational data, thereby supporting informed decision-making and ensuring strict compliance with established regulatory standards and procedures.
The Director General additionally disclosed that the system has been specifically designed to strengthen financial monitoring and oversight by providing enhanced visibility into operator activities, transactions, and compliance records.
According to him, the initiative will play a critical role in reinforcing internal controls and advancing anti-money laundering (AML) compliance measures intended to safeguard the integrity of Liberia’s gaming and lottery industry while protecting national financial and economic interests.
“This intervention represents a major advancement in our efforts to combat fraud, strengthen accountability mechanisms, and ensure that the gaming and lottery sector contributes meaningfully to national development through proper regulation and enhanced revenue collection,” Hon. Solo added.
Also speaking at the ceremony, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Lottery Authority, Prince Menkalo Gbieu, described the partnership with Seven Blue Liberia Limited as a transformative undertaking that reflects the Authority’s determination to build a transparent, accountable, and technologically driven institution capable of effectively regulating the sector in line with global standards.

He emphasized that the decision is fully aligned with the Government of Liberia’s broader policy direction of empowering Liberian-owned businesses and creating opportunities for local enterprises to actively contribute to national growth and development.
“The empowerment of Liberian-owned businesses remains essential to sustainable economic growth, job creation, and national capacity building. This partnership demonstrates confidence in local expertise and reflects the Government’s commitment to supporting Liberian entrepreneurs and institutions,” Hon. Gbieu asserted.
Representing Seven Blue Liberia Limited, Mrs. Rose Siafa Sebo expressed appreciation to the National Lottery Authority for the confidence reposed in the company and reaffirmed the institution’s readiness and technical capacity to successfully implement the project.
Madam Sebo assured the Manaement of NLA and stakeholders that the company is fully prepared to commence operations and deploy the digital platform in accordance with international standards and industry best practices.
She explained that the modernization initiative will significantly improve the efficiency, transparency, and credibility of Liberia’s gaming and lottery operations while helping eliminate fraudulent practices and illegal gaming activities across the country.
According to her, the introduction of a fully digitized regulatory and licensing framework will strengthen monitoring systems, improve compliance management, and support the creation of a more secure and accountable gaming environment for operators, regulators, and the public alike.
The National Lottery Authority believes that the implementation of this strategic initiative forms part of the Government of Liberia’s broader vision to modernize public institutions, strengthen governance systems, improve revenue tracking mechanisms, and accelerate digital transformation across key sectors of the national economy.
The Authority remains steadfast in its commitment to promoting transparency, innovation, efficiency, and responsible regulation in the gaming and lottery sector while ensuring that the industry contributes positively to Liberia’s economic growth and national development agenda.
