President Goodluck Jonathan has approved the appointment of Chief Solomon Asemota as a member of the Presidential Advisory Committee on National Dialogue.
Asemota is to replace retired Colonel Tony Nyiam, who resigned from his position.
This was contained in a statement signed on Tuesday by Sam Nwaobasi, the Special Assistant on Media to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Pius Anyim.
The statement said that Asemota, a legal icon, would assume duties with the committee on Wednesday.
Nyiam resigned from the committee on November 3 following a confrontation with Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State.
The incident occurred in Benin during the committee’s town hall meeting in the state.
