I'm trying to add the 'info' attribute to an entry and am getting the

Currently, the only object class assigned to the entry is inetOrgPerson.

Has anyone got any idea why this may be the case?

In general one would use attribute 'description' for this kind of content
nowadays.

In addition, I would note the comments for the "info" attribute even in the RFC say to not use it:

9.3.4.  Information

  The Information attribute type specifies any general information
  pertinent to an object.  It is recommended that specific usage of
  this attribute type is avoided, and that specific requirements are
  met by other (possibly additional) attribute types.
