Monrovia – The National Lottery Authority (NLA) has officially approved Seven Blue Liberia Limited to deploy an advanced end-to-end online licensing and regulatory management system, modernizing Liberia’s gaming and lottery sector.
The Authority formally presented the comprehensive strategic partnership agreement to Seven Blue Liberia Limited during a ceremony on Monday, May 11, 2026, at the Office of the Board Chairman on Capitol Hill, Monrovia. The agreement was originally signed on April 2, 2026. This milestone advances the NLA’s ongoing institutional reform agenda focused on transparency, accountability, operational efficiency, and digital modernization.
Speaking during the presentation ceremony, NLA Director General Peter L. Solo described the partnership as a major milestone in the Authority’s efforts to strengthen regulatory oversight and align Liberia’s gaming and lottery sector with international best practices. The new system introduces a modern digital platform equipped with advanced technological capabilities, including real-time operational data access, automated audit trails, integrated compliance monitoring tools, and enhanced reporting systems.
These features will significantly improve institutional performance, operational efficiency, and revenue assurance across the Authority. “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,” Solo stated. He further noted that the platform will provide management and regulatory teams with timely access to accurate, verifiable, and transparent operational data, supporting informed decision-making and ensuring strict compliance with regulatory standards.
The Director General also emphasized that the new system strengthens financial monitoring by providing enhanced visibility into operator activities, transactions, and compliance records. The initiative reinforces internal controls and advances Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance efforts, helping 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,” he added.
Also speaking at the event, NLA Board Chairman Prince Menkalo Gbieu described the partnership as a transformative initiative that reflects the Authority’s determination to build a transparent, accountable, and technology-driven institution. Gbieu praised the decision to entrust a Liberian-owned company with such an important national responsibility, noting that the move aligns with the Government of Liberia’s broader policy of empowering Liberian-owned businesses and creating opportunities for local enterprises to contribute to national 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,” Gbieu said. Representing Seven Blue Liberia Limited, Rose Siafa Sebo expressed appreciation to the NLA for the confidence placed in the company and reaffirmed its readiness and technical capacity to successfully implement the project.
Sebo assured NLA management and stakeholders that the company stands fully prepared to begin deployment of the digital platform in accordance with international standards and industry best practices. She explained that the modernization initiative will significantly improve efficiency, transparency, and credibility within Liberia’s gaming and lottery sector while helping eliminate fraudulent and illegal gaming activities nationwide. According to her, the introduction of a fully digitized regulatory and licensing framework will strengthen monitoring systems, improve compliance management, and support a more secure and accountable gaming environment for operators, regulators, and the public.
The NLA believes this strategic initiative aligns with the Government of Liberia’s broader vision to modernize public institutions, strengthen governance systems, improve revenue tracking, and accelerate digital transformation across key sectors of the national economy. The Authority remains committed to promoting transparency, innovation, efficiency, and responsible regulation while ensuring the gaming and lottery sector contributes meaningfully to Liberia’s economic growth and national development.
