In a major shake-up, President Bola Tinubu and the Federal Executive Council (FEC) on Wednesday scrapped the Ministry of Niger Delta and the Ministry of Sports Development.
The decision was made during the FEC meeting held in Abuja.
The newly established Ministry of Regional Development will now oversee all regional development commissions, including the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), North West Development Commission, South West Development Commission, and North East Development Commission.
Additionally, the National Sports Commission will take over the functions of the disbanded Ministry of Sports Development.
In a related move, the FEC also approved the merger of the Ministry of Tourism with the Ministry of Culture and Creative Economy.
