Tension in Asaba: Why Delta State Workers Shut Down the Secretariat
Wahala is definitely not finished in this country! If you are currently in Asaba or trying to sort out government documents, you better hold your breath. Delta State workers strike has officially grounded all activities to a screeching halt, leaving the state secretariat completely locked down and residents in total confusion.
For a state known for its vibrant administrative hustle and bustle, seeing the gates of the state secretariat slammed shut with angry workers chanting solidarity songs is pure Nollywood-level drama. But behind the street-side chants lies a very serious battle for economic survival that has got everyone in the oil-rich state talking.

What This Means for Residents and the Economy
