In a significant development, the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration has announced the immediate disengagement of Fegho John Umunubo, who had served as the Special Assistant to the President on Digital and Creative Economy within the Office of the Vice President, Kashim Shettima.
The announcement was made in a statement that sternly warned the public against any further dealings with him on behalf of the government. “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 had served as the Special Assistant to the President on Digital and Creative Economy (Office of the Vice President), has been disengaged with immediate effect,” the statement read.
It further emphasized that Mr. Umunubo “no longer represents this administration in any capacity” and cautioned that anyone who interfaces with him in the name of President Tinubu’s administration does so “at his or her own risk.”
The statement serves as a clear directive to all stakeholders in the digital and creative economy sector to be guided accordingly, as Mr. Umunubo is no longer authorized to act or speak on behalf of the presidency. This move underscores the administration’s commitment to maintaining clear lines of communication and authority.
