Citing the National Lottery Trust Fund, Omokri expressed concern about the $1 billion daily expenditure on gambling in the country.
Social media influencer Reno Omokri has called on President Bola Tinubu to prohibit sports betting apps in Nigeria, suggesting that such a ban could enhance the value of the Naira.

Omokri highlighted the negative impact of gambling on the economy, urging action to address what he termed a threat to national security.
Several Nigerian sports betting firms, including Bet9ja and Nairabet, were mentioned in the context of the issue.
The Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, Zephaniah Jisalo, assured a government effort to resolve revenue-related challenges in the gaming sector during the 2023 International Gaming Conference.
The National Lottery Trust Fund’s Executive Secretary/CEO, Bello Maigari, disclosed that the 2023 generated N2.5 billion, entirely utilized for various national projects.
