The Presidency has announced the sack of Fegho Umunubo as special assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Digital and Creative Economy under the Office of the Vice President.
His disengagement was announced in a statement on Monday, by the director of information and public relations at the State House, Abiodun Oladunjoye.
“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 in part.
The Presidency further warned that Mr Umunubo no longer represents the administration in any capacity.
“Anyone who interfaces with him in the name of President Tinubu’s administration does so at his or her own risk,” it said.
QEDNG reported earlier that Umunubo was suspended from office more than two months ago over allegations of abuse of office.
He was accused of signing unauthorised agreements on behalf of the government.
Minister of art, culture and the creative economy Hannatu Musawa was among those who petitioned the Presidency over his activities, accusing him of interfering in agencies under her ministry.
Outside the Presidency, Umunubo has also faced a dispute with filmmaker Arese Ugwu, who accused him of failing to deliver on a N10 million sponsorship deal.
