After almost five years in office, the president of Coljuegos Juan B. Pérez resigned to his position, who will be replaced in an entity that handles billionaire sums for collections from the exploitation of games of chance in Colombia, which are redirected to the financing of the health in the country.
In replacement of Pérez would take over César Augusto Valencia, administrator of the Universidad del Norte and who has an MBA from Drexel University (Pennsylvania, United States).
This position is assigned through the nomination made by the Minister of Finance, and then the final decision is made by the entity's board of directors, which, 90 percent, is made up of representatives of the public finance portfolio in Colombia.
In its latest rendering of accounts, Coljuegos reported that it collected 2.8 billion pesos (US$770m) between 2015 and September 2020 for exploitation rights of the gambling sector in the country.
