According to him, priority areas include security, health, environment, economy, markets, and social welfare.
According to him, Nwosu intends to tackle security challenges in the State through technology-driven approaches.
“As an Information and Communication Technology expert, he believes security goes beyond recruiting able-bodied men and giving them guns.
“He believes modern technology provides more effective solutions.
“He has articulated practical methods to address insecurity in Anambra,” Okechukwu added.
The Director however, noted that details of such strategies could not be disclosed publicly for security reasons.
