BY LAW IBITOYE
For optimal performance,
President Bola Tinubu has scrapped the Niger Delta Ministry and the Ministry of Sports Development.
The decision was taken during the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the State House, Abuja, according to a tweet by Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Ononuga, on his verified X handle, @aonanuga1956.
Onanuga wrote,
A new Ministry of Regional Development will oversee regional development commissions, including the Niger Delta Development Commission, North West Development Commission, South West Development Commission and North East Development Commission.
The National Sports Commission will assume the responsibilities of the defunct Ministry of Sports Development.
In another significant merger, the FEC approved the combination of the Ministry of Tourism with the Ministry of Culture and Creative Economy.
