Kaduna ministerial nominee Balarabe Lawal slumps during screening
On Wednesday, Kaduna Ministerial nominee Balarabe Lawal collapsed at the Senate plenary while responding to questions at screening.
Mr Lawal, shortly after giving his educational background, collapsed at the podium.
His sudden collapse threw the plenary session into a panic as senators rushed to help revive him.
Senate President Godswill Akpiabio quickly called for water and sugar to be administered to him.
Mr Akpabio also immediately called for a closed session.
