Tinubu Scraps Ministries Of Niger Delta, Sports Development

Nigerian Government has scrapped the Niger Delta Ministry, and the Ministry of Sports Development.

The decision was taken on Wednesday at the meeting of the Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja, the Nigeria’s capital.

This was seen on the X handle of the Special Adviser, Information and Strategy to President Tinubu, Bayo Onanuga on Wednesday.

There will now be a ministry of regional development to oversee all the regional development commissions, such as Niger Delta Development Commission, North West Development Commission, South West Development Commission, and the North East Development Commission.

The National Sports Commission will take over the role of the Ministry of Sports.

The FEC also approved the merger of the Ministry of Tourism with the Ministry of Culture and Creative Economy.

However, despite the announcement, Onanuga did not state what would happen to the Ministers in charge of the scrapped Ministries, or how they would function henceforth.
