It has been revealed that Dr. Enyi Onyebuchi Paul, a Nigerian with a PhD, works as a cleaner at Ebonyi State University (EBSU) in Abakaliki, despite holding three academic degrees, including a PhD in Mathematics Education.
The story was brought to light by Odo Godfrey Chikwere, a journalist with Legacy 95.1 FM in Abakaliki.
Dr. Enyi, originally from Ikelegu Ishieke in the Ndiabor community of Ebonyi Local Government Area, began his employment at the university in 2007 as a cleaner/messenger. Over the years, he pursued his education while working, earning a Bachelor of Science (BSc), Master of Science (MSc), and ultimately a PhD, all from the same institution where he still occupies a menial position.
In a social media post, Odo expressed concern over Dr. Enyi’s situation, pointing out the stark contrast between his academic achievements and his current role. He wrote, “This is Dr. Enyi Onyebuchi Paul. He got a job at Ebonyi State University in 2007 as a cleaner/messenger. He struggled to see himself through university education in the same school, earning a PhD in 2022.”
Despite obtaining the highest academic qualification, Dr. Enyi is reportedly earning less than N70,000 a month in a position far beneath his qualifications.
Odo further lamented, “Izzi big men, this is one of your brothers with a PhD earning 70,000 a month in EBSU. I ran into this guy’s case, he is a PhD holder in Mathematics Education earning less than 70,000 per month in EBSU. This guy’s case should be an embarrassment to any Izzi man he approached for assistance, but they turned him down.”
Efforts by Legit.ng to reach both Dr. Enyi and Odo for further comment are ongoing.
