The Special Adviser to the Governor of Abia State on Education, Sir Kenechukwu Nwosu who disclosed this while featuring in a BCA Radio programme “Executive Brief”, said the education sector remains one of the focal sectors of the State government because Governor Alex Otti loves education and human development.
