President John Dramani Mahama has unveiled a government restructuring initiative, reducing the number of ministries from 29 to 23.
This move is part of a broader strategy to enhance efficiency, streamline operations, and establish a leaner, more effective administration.
The restructuring is seen as a necessary step to foster good governance, eliminate redundancies, and realign governmental priorities.
With this reorganisation, President Mahama has signalled his administration’s focus on strategic governance, innovation, and a commitment to addressing pressing national issues.
Among the key changes are the abolition of several ministries that were previously under the leadership of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The following ministries have been axed:
- Ministry of Information
- Ministry of National Security
- Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs
- Ministry of Railway Development
- Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources
- Ministry of Public Enterprises
- Ministry of Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs (merged with the Ministry of Local Government)
