IN what can be described as ludicrous, the Chairman of Igbo Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State, Dr Eric Ogbonna Odo, has offered employment to a number of people under the designation ‘Senior Special Assistant to the Local Government Chairman on Agriculture (Garden Egg and Pepper’.
Similar employment has also been offered to persons on Yam, etc.
According to the appointment letters making the rounds on social media, Odo appointed Ezeugwu Frederick Ogbonna, as an SSA on Yam and Pepper. He also appointed Nwodo Everestus Ugonna as SSA on Garden Egg and Pepper.
The content of one of the offers of employment duly signed by the council boss read thus:
