Mr. Dikki will hold the position in an acting capacity.
The changes were contained in a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant (Media and Publicity) to the Vice President, Umar Sani.

I must say that although I don't know anything about Ms Onagoruwa, if the reasons for her removal are similar to the ones Ms Oteh's own is being machinated, then this government must be a total mess. If anyone who raises a voice about corruption and stands up to corrupt officials (even if minimally) must be punished this severely, then this country must be in far more trouble than I ever envisaged.
