President Bola Tinubu has scrapped the ministry of Niger Delta and the ministry of sports development.
Subsequently, the National Sports Commission (NSC) will take over the responsibility of the sports ministry.
A newly established ministry of regional development is expected to oversee all the regional development commissions.
The commissions include Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), North West Development Commission (NWDC), South West Development Commission (SWDC), and North East Development Commission (NEDC).
Similarly, President Tinubu at the federal executive council on Wednesday, also approved the merger of the ministry of tourism with the ministry of culture and creative economy.
The decisions were made at the sitting of the FEC at the State House in Abuja on Wednesday.
