This restructuring will also see the National Sports Commission absorbing the functions of the now-defunct Ministry of Sports Development, streamlining sports administration in the country, reported Nigeria’s national media.
Additionally, the FEC has approved the merger of the Ministry of Tourism with the Ministry of Culture and Creative Economy.
