Alhaji Abbas Balarabe Lawal, a ministerial nominee from Kaduna State, fainted at the screening on Wednesday after presenting his resume.
The incident occurred at exactly 1. 48PM.
Lawal collapsed immediately after introducing himself and one of the Senators from Kaduna was making his address.
Immediately, the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio requested for water and sugar to be administered to the nominee.
Akpabio directed the shutting down of cameras as the session was televised live, while efforts were on to resuscitate the nominee.
