There was uneasy calm yesterday (Tuesday) at the premises of Kwara State Printing and Publishing Corporation, publisher of The Herald newspapers, in Ilorin as a member of staff of the media outfit suddenly slumped.

The staff identified as Kehinde Ayilara, reportedly collapsed while coming to the office due to palpable hunger.

Due to backlog of salaries, situation has become precarious for many of the workers including members of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) who struggling to make ends meet.

The staff members were being owed June, July and August Salaries.

It was learnt that the ailing Herald staff was hospitalized at the state Civil Service Clinic.
