The ministerial nominee from Kaduna State, Abbas Balarabe, slumped while he was undergoing screening on the floor of the Senate.
Mr Balarabe’s nomination appeared to have been made to replace a former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, whose nomination was put on hold by the Senate in August.
