The appointment letters, signed by Ogene’s Chief of Staff, Chinedum Uwolloh, and seen by our correspondent on Tuesday, outlined the aides’ responsibilities.
The letter states that the aides will, “Assist the office of Hon. Ogene in achieving its core objective of delivering excellent service to the people of Ogbaru Federal Constituency in your specific area of appointment or perform any other duties assigned by the office from time to time.
