This decision was made during a meeting on Wednesday in Abuja, as reported by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Tinubu.
A new Ministry of Regional Development will be established to oversee various Regional Development Commissions, including the Niger Delta Development Commission, North West Development Commission, South West Development Commission, and North East Development Commission.
The responsibilities of the former Ministry of Sports will now be managed by the National Sports Commission.
Additionally, the FEC has approved the merger of the Ministry of Tourism with the Ministry of Culture and Creative Economy.
However, Onanuga did not state what would happen to the ministers in charge of the scrapped ministries, or how they would function henceforth.
