President Bola Tinubu has relieved Fegho Umunubo of his duties as Special Assistant on Digital and Creative Economy in the Office of the Vice President.

A statement issued on Monday by the Director of Information and Public Relations at the State House, Abiodun Oladunjoye, confirmed that Umunubo’s disengagement takes immediate effect.

The Presidency further emphasized that Umunubo no longer speaks or acts on behalf of the administration in any capacity.

The statement read in part: “Stakeholders and constituents of the digital and creative economy, at home and abroad, as well as the general public are hereby notified that Fegho John Umunubo, who hitherto served as Special Assistant to the President on Digital and Creative Economy (Office of the Vice President), has been disengaged with immediate effect. Kindly note that he no longer represents this administration in any capacity. Henceforth, anyone who interfaces with him in the name of President Tinubu’s administration does so at his or her own risk. We urge all stakeholders and constituents of the digital and creative economy to be so guided.”

The statement did not provide reasons for Umunubo’s dismissal.
