MoYS renamed Ministry of Sports and Recreation

President John Dramani Mahama has renamed the Ministry of Youth and Sports (MoYS) to the Ministry of Sport and Recre­ation (MoSR)

President Mahama made the modifications on January 9, 2025, under Section 11(3) of the Civil Service Act, 1993 (P.N.D.C.L 327).

It thus reduces the number of ministries from 30 to 23, a decision in line with his cam­paign promise to reduce the size of government.

With the new changes, the Youth and Sports Ministry would be replaced by the Min­istry of Sports and Recreation.
