The federal executive council (FEC) has scrapped the ministry of Niger Delta and the ministry of sports development.
According to the FEC, the National Sports Commission (NSC) will take over the responsibility of the sports ministry.
A newly established ministry of regional development is expected to oversee all the regional development commissions.
The commissions include Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), North West Development Commission (NWDC), South West Development Commission (SWDC), and North East Development Commission (NEDC).
The FEC, presided over by President Bola Tinubu, also approved the merger of the ministry of tourism with the ministry of culture and creative economy.
The decisions were made at the sitting of the FEC at the State House in Abuja on Wednesday.
