John Moffat Fugui (born September 9, 1961 in Fourau, Malaita Province[1]) is a Solomon Islands politician.
He obtained his first Master's degree at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, then two more at the University of Hawai'i in the United States, where he then also obtained his PhD. He subsequently worked as a political adviser to the Solomon Islands government.[1]
His career in national politics began when he was elected to Parliament as the member for Central Honiara (the capital city) in the August 2010 general election, standing as an independent candidate. He was then appointed Minister for the Environment, Climate Change, Disaster Management and Meteorology in Prime Minister Danny Philip's Cabinet.[1] [2] When Gordon Darcy Lilo replaced Philip as Prime Minister in November 2011, Fugui retained his position in government.[3]
