President John Dramani Mahama has decoupled a focus on the youth from the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
The President by an Executive Instrument (EI), 2025, announcing various ministries has thus, created two separate Ministries out of the former Ministry of Youth and Sports.
They are the Ministry of Youth Development and Empowerment; and the Ministry of Sports and Recreation.
In the exercise of the power conferred on the President under section 11(3) of the Civil Service Act, 1993 (PNDCL 327), the Civil Service (Ministries) Instrument, 2025, was made on the 9th day of January, 2025
The EI also merged the Ministry of Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs and the Ministry of Local Government, Decentralization and Rural Development to create the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs.
The EI, 2025, which revoked EI, 2017, also reduced the number of Ministries from 30 to 23.
Other Ministries, which have been revoked included Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, National Security, Parliamentary Affairs, Sanitation and Water Resources, Public Enterprises, Information and Railway Development.
The restructuring and realignment of the ministries by the new government are aimed at reducing the size of the government, to create efficiency and save cost.
