President John Dramani Mahama has implemented a restructuring of the government, reducing the number of ministries from 29 to 23 as part of a broader effort to streamline operations, cut inefficiencies, and ensure a leaner and more effective administration.
Among the key changes is the abolition of several ministries that existed under the administration of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. The axed ministries are:
President Mahama reduces Ministries to 23 in Civil Service restructuring
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 Local Government)
