Onanuga added that this strategic move aims to streamline efforts and enhance efficiency.
In another significant development, the responsibilities of the Ministry of Sports Development will now be transferred to the National Sports Commission, which will oversee sports-related activities nationwide.
Furthermore, the FEC approved the merger of the Ministry of Tourism with the Ministry of Culture and Creative Economy, creating a single entity.
This consolidation is expected to foster greater synergy and growth in the tourism and creative sectors.
