Presidency sacks Fegho John Umunubo as SA on Digital and Creative Economy

The Presidency has announced the disengagement of Fegho John Umunubo, who until now served as the Special Assistant to the President on Digital and Creative Economy under the Office of the Vice President.

According to a public notice issued on Monday, September 8, 2025, by Abiodun Oladunjoye, Director of Information and Public Relations at the State House, Umunubo’s disengagement takes immediate effect.

The statement emphasized that Umunubo no longer represents the administration in any capacity and warned stakeholders in the digital and creative economy, both within and outside Nigeria, against engaging with him in the name of the Presidency.

“Anyone who interfaces with him in the name of President Tinubu’s administration does so at his or her own risk,” the notice cautioned.

The Presidency also urged all stakeholders and constituents of the digital and creative economy to take note of the development and be guided accordingly.
