BREAKING: Tinubu scraps 2 ministries, merges 2 others
The much-awaited cabinet reshuffle of President Bola Tinubu has taken off with the scrapping of Niger Delta Ministry and the Ministry of Sports Development.
According to Daily Trust, Bayo Onanuga, Presidential spokesman, announced this 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 , North East Development Commission.”
“The National Sports Commission will take over the role of the Ministry of Sports,” Onanuga said.
He said the decisions were taken at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Wednesday.
Onanuga added that the president has also approved the merger of the Ministry of Tourism with the Ministry of Culture and Creative Economy.
It is unclear what the fate of Abubakar Momoh, former Niger Delta Affairs Minister, and John Enoh, former sports minister, is.
Additionally, details of the merger are still being awaited at the time of this report as it has not been stated if Hannatu Musawa, culture minister, would be in charge of the merged ministry or Lola Ade-John, tourism minister would oversee the ministry.
Tinubu has been under intense pressure to reshuffle his cabinet.
