President Bola Tinubu has dismissed Fegho John Umunubo, a close aide to Vice President Kashim Shettima, from his position as Special Assistant on Digital and Creative Economy.

Umunubo’s disengagement takes immediate effect, with the State House clarifying that he no longer holds any representative role within the administration.

Stakeholders in the digital and creative sectors, both in Nigeria and abroad, have been warned that dealing with Umunubo under the guise of the Tinubu government is at their own risk.

The announcement was made in a statement signed by Director of Information and Public Relations at the State House, Abiodun Oladunjoye.
