President Goodluck Jonathan has approved the inclusion of Aisha Wakil, into the Committee on Dialogue and Peaceful Resolution of Security Challenges in the North.\u00a0Hajiya Naja\u2019atu Bala Mohammed is the other female member of the original the 26-man committee.\u00a0Wakil\u2019s appointment may not be unconnected to the rejection of membership of the committee by Dr. Datti Ahmad, President of the Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria (SCSN) and Comrade Shehu Sani, President of Kaduna-based Civil Rights Congress (CRC).<\/p>\n

Wakil, a human rights activist, had in March last year during a protest by women on Maiduguri streets urged the adherents of Boko Haram, whom she referred to as her sons, to accept the offer of dialogue from the Federal Government.\u00a0A press statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati, said the inauguration of the presidential committee would take place this morning.
The committee has the task of identifying and engaging key leaders of Boko Haram and developing a workable framework for amnesty and disarmament of members of the group.<\/p>\n
