The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has dissolved both the Ministry of Niger Delta and the Ministry of Sports Development.
The National Sports Commission (NSC) will assume the responsibilities of the sports ministry.
A newly formed Ministry of Regional Development will oversee all regional development commissions, including the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), North West Development Commission (NWDC), South West Development Commission (SWDC), and North East Development Commission (NEDC).
Under President Bola Tinubu’s leadership, the FEC also approved the merger of the Ministry of Tourism with the Ministry of Culture and Creative Economy.
These decisions were made during the FEC meeting held at the State House in Abuja on Wednesday.
