Miriam Onuoha, a member of the house of representatives, has sparked backlash on X following a post that she “secured federal employment” for her constituents.
On Saturday, Onuoha, via her X handle @miriam_Onuoha,
announced that she “secured federal employment” for her constituents in the
National Assembly Commission, Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), and
Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund).
The lawmaker, representing the Okigwe north federal
constituency of Imo state, shared pictures showing three of her constituents
holding what seem like employment letters.
Onuoha, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is
also seen in the pictures presenting the “employment letters” to the
beneficiaries.
She is the chairperson of the house committee of TETFund and
other services.
However, the post has attracted criticisms from social media
users who questioned if employment in federal agencies is based on merit rather
than favouritism.

Lack of self awareness to know this is corruption?

More evidence that those FIRS, TeTfund, CBN etc jobs you see on the portal are a waste of time. Who you know gets you into govt positions not merit.
Miriam is following Buhari and Bola footsteps. This country cannot make it. https://t.co/ZlMRX8uD8F
This is supposed to be a shameful announcement but unfortunately it's not, because of the kind of society we find ourselves.

This is a disgraceful abuse of power. Handing out federal jobs like personal favors spits in the face of merit, mocks the struggles of qualified Nigerians, and deepens a rotten system built on nepotism. It’s a theft of opportunity, plain and simple. https://t.co/pV1tlRbGjs
