In the document obtained, Engr Eje was born in Umuihi-Ihitte of Ihitte/Uboma LGA, Imo State in 1966 and started his primary school at Central School, Ihitte, Imo State in 1967.
A credible source told TBI Africa Magazine that many of such people are positioning themselves for appointments.
“This is what is going on and it is scandalous. Something has to be done. How can someone claimed to be born in 1966 and started his primary school in 1967. This needs to be looked into. Such person should not be allow to take leadership role,” the source said
It was also learnt that the General Manager HR, ISO TCN, who is also scheming to be Executive Director HR TCN, who should flag such records, is also guilty of age falsification by changing her date of birth in NEPA/PHCN to another in TCN after privatization, to stay longer in service.

Engr. EddyEje is happily married.
