Okolugbo conveyed his decision in a letter dated December 22, 2025, addressed to the President of the Senate through his Chief of Staff, Chinedu Akubueze.
He cited “business and family commitments” as the reason for stepping aside.
In the resignation letter, Okolugbo expressed appreciation for the opportunity to serve at the highest level of the legislative arm of government, noting the privilege of working closely with the leadership of the National Assembly.
“I have enjoyed working with the team. I should also point out the privilege of being an adviser to the number three citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he said.
Reflecting on his time in office, Okolugbo said he was pleased to have been a member of the former Akwa Ibom governor’s media office.
“I am grateful for the opportunity I had to serve and wish the best to the President of the Senate as he continues to steer the affairs of the National Assembly and the Senate in particular,” he added.
The resignation will take effect on January 1, 2026.
Confirming the development, Akubueze said Senator Akpabio had accepted the resignation and extended his best wishes to Okolugbo, commending his contributions and wishing him success in his future endeavours.
Okolugbo’s exit comes amid ongoing efforts by the Senate leadership to consolidate its communications strategy as the 10th National Assembly advances its legislative agenda.
