The Ministry of Niger Delta and the Ministry of Sports Development have been dissolved. In their place, a new Ministry of Regional Development has been established to 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 responsibilities of the former Ministry of Sports will now be handled by the National Sports Commission, which will take over the oversight and promotion of sports activities in Nigeria.
The Federal Executive Council also approved the merger of the Ministry of Tourism with the Ministry of Culture and Creative Economy, streamlining efforts to boost Nigeria’s tourism and cultural sectors. These decisions were made today during the Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja.
