PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu has relieved Fegho John Umunubo of his duties as Special Assistant on Digital and Creative Economy in the Office of the Vice President.

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

According to the statement, Mr. Umunubo’s disengagement takes immediate effect.

The presidency also cautioned government stakeholders, institutions, and the general public that Umunubo no longer represents the administration in any capacity.
