Sammi Awuku\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Director-General of the National Lottery Authority (NLA), Sammi Awuku, has been named the Overall Public Sector CEO of the Year at the 8th Ghana CEO Summit and Excellence Awards, marking his second consecutive win.<\/p>\n
This is a remarkable achievement of not only his exceptional leadership, but also his profound impact on the lottery industry.<\/p>\n
Mr. Awuku, the recipient of the 2023\/2024 award, was also recognised as the CEO of the Year in the lottery industry.<\/p>\n
He attributed this achievement to the collective hard work, dedication, and commitment of the NLA\u2019s management and staff.<\/p>\n
Under Mr. Awuku\u2019s leadership, the NLA has gained recognition in the sub-region and among lottery bodies, where he serves as the first-ever elected Anglophone Vice President of the African Lotteries Association (ALA).<\/p>\n
With his strategic direction, the NLA is now recognised as a key partner for other African lottery bodies like Ivory Coast and Nigeria, where the Authority\u2019s games are exported, raking in revenue for the Authority.<\/p>\n
Mr. Awuku is credited with transformational leadership, having regulated the consumer promotion space on the Caritas Lottery platform, given back to communities, institutions, and individuals through the NLA Good Causes Foundation, and improved staff welfare.<\/p>\n
By the World Lottery Association (WLA) standards, Mr. Awuku, with the support of the NLA governing board and management, has enhanced the Authority\u2019s business operations by re-modeling its Draw Studio and acquiring state-of-the-art draw machines, attained WLA Level 2 Certification in Responsible Gaming and spearheaded innovation and digitalisation across various business operations.<\/p>\n
CEOs, business leaders, and executives in private and public sectors also won awards for various field categories.<\/p>\n
