In a significant cabinet reshuffle, President Tinubu has announced the dissolution of the Ministry of Niger Delta and the Ministry of Sports Development. These departments will be replaced by a newly established Ministry of Regional Development, tasked with overseeing all regional development commissions, including the Niger Delta Development Commission, North West Development Commission, South West Development Commission, and North East Development Commission.
Additionally, the National Sports Commission will take over the responsibilities that were previously under the Ministry of Sports.
The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has also approved the merger of the Ministry of Tourism with the Ministry of Culture and Creative Economy.
