 An oil state government has reiterated its commitment to a responsible gaming policy in the state. The secretary to the state government, Professor Olanike Adeyemo, stated this during the fifth annual stakeholders' interactive forum of the oil state gaming board. The theme of the forum, tax and task, building a sustainable gaming environment, is held in Ibadan, the oil state capital. Professor Olanike joined gaming companies to embrace transparent monetization and the world of gaming. The host of the event, Mr. Olajide Bola-Duro, director general of the board, commanded the oil state governor, Ingenia Sheimakende, for making oil state number one investment destination in Nigeria. Bola-Duro joined gaming companies in the state to adhere to strict rules and standards designed to protect players in the gaming industry. Olajide notes that oil state will do all in its power to create an enabling environment for investment to flourish in the state. What will enable us to build a sustainable and responsible gaming environment in oil state will be building stakeholder capacity to take advantage of the industry's potential and manage the risks associated with gambling expansion. There is no absolute positive or absolute negative in life. So we have to be prepared to manage those risks. Improving reach and engagement through innovation and technology, responsible gambling policies that we enforce, we have fantastic policies on paper about how do we do when it comes to implementation. We will not relent as the government's agency that we are, but as the government aspect of this vice, because it is a vice, and to preach the message to the people that do these gaming things, to let them know that it is actually addictive. So the revenue is not the goal for us, it's just that we have to regulate the industry.
