AI is not just transforming how we play and pay but also how we create and consume entertainment. I’m sure it’s all good news, looking at how the industry evolved last December and January. The question now is how do we replicate that? How do we create bigger, better, and smarter opportunities? How do we use AI as a catalyst to attract and engage more investors?.
We see AI as not just at the forefront of this revolution but as a driving force behind fraud detection, personalized gaming experiences, and responsible gaming initiatives. It is also enhancing financial security and creating an ecosystem where responsible gaming is prioritized, and digital entrepreneurship thrives. In Lagos, we are actively working on policies and initiatives to position the state as a global hub. We believe in thinking local but acting global, developing local content while creating solutions that resonate on a global scale.

The Africa Gaming Expo 2025 will provide a platform to explore how AI can drive efficiency, efficiency that ensures greater security in gaming, fintech, and entertainment while fostering inclusivity across these industries. This is an important moment for the sector, and we are excited about what the future holds.
I encourage all participants to take full advantage of the exhibition, panel discussions, and networking opportunities available. The digital industry is intelligent, dynamic, and border-less, and it is through collaborations like this that we can fully unlock its potential.
Thank you very much.
