According to his statement, "There is no strike." There is currently no evidence of any strike being observed. At the present moment, I am situated at the Osun State Secretariat, Abere, while engaging in this conversation.
All of the offices are currently accessible and operational. Individuals are present and engaged in their respective tasks, and all systems and processes are functioning effectively.
