The newly appointed Director-General of the National Lottery Authority (NLA), Sammi Awuku, has urged the staff of the agency to give off their best.

According to him, that is the only sure way the agency will meet its demands.

He said this on Wednesday, August 11, 2021, after a familiarization tour of the NLA.

“I have been posted here to support you and for us to have a very good working relationship. It is my hope and prayer that all of us will pour out our hearts and work well, and hard work will be supported and promoted. I’m sure with time, we will get the opportunity to interact.”

The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo appointed the National Organizer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Samuel Kwabena Awuku as the new Director-General of the National Lottery Authority on Friday, July 30, 2021.

Sammi Awuku will take over from Kofi Osei Ameyaw who was ordered to proceed on retirement in March 2021.

Sammi Awuku is expected to resign from his current position as National Organizer of the NPP to take over the new role.

He served as Board Chairman of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), and was twice elected Vice-Chair of the Young Democrats Union (IYDU), an international association of the youth wings of conservative parties across the world.
