Balarabe Abbas, the Ministerial nominee from Kaduna State, collapsed during screening on Wednesday.

The incident occurred during a session to assess the nominee’s qualifications and suitability for a ministerial position within the government.

The nominee was reportedly answering questions posed by senators when they suddenly collapsed.

Senators and medical personnel present in the chamber rushed to provide immediate assistance.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio, who was presiding over the screening, immediately suspended and asked the cameras of video journalists to be put off.

Recall that President Bola Tinubu had sent his name alongside those of two others to the Senate on Tuesday.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio had read the letter the president sent and subsequently announced that the nominees will be screened on Wednesday.
