The National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC) has agreed to reopen the corporate headquarters of Nestle Nigeria Plc following an agreement reached with the food and beverage firm to pay a disputed N65m lottery commission stemming from lottery promos the company held between 2012 and 2014.

According to the NLRC, the company’s office was sealed for violating the National Lottery Act, 2005 and National Lottery Regulations, 2007. The NLRC, which is an agency of the Federal Government, regulates sales promo operated by companies.
