The Presidency has announced the immediate disengagement of Fegho John Umunubo, Special Assistant to the President on Digital and Creative Economy in the Office of the Vice President. In a public notice issued on September 8, 2025, the Presidency warned stakeholders and the general public that Umunubo no longer represents the administration in any capacity.¹

Key Points:

– Immediate Effect: Umunubo’s disengagement takes immediate effect, meaning any dealings with him will not be recognized or endorsed by the Presidency.
– No Representation: Umunubo is no longer authorized to represent President Tinubu’s administration, and anyone engaging with him in an official capacity does so at their own risk.
– *Guidance for Stakeholders*: The Presidency urges stakeholders and constituents of the digital and creative economy to take note of this development and conduct their dealings accordingly.

The Presidency did not specify the reasons for Umunubo’s termination. Abiodun Oladunjoye, Director of Information & Public Relations at the State House, signed the statement, emphasizing the need for vigilance among industry players and the public to avoid misrepresentation of the Tinubu administration.
