A ministerial nominee, Balarabe Abbas Lawal, who slumped while being screened by the Senate on Wednesday, has been revived.
The nominee, who fell to the floor after speaking for about 15 minutes, was resuscitated by medical personnel called into the chamber after he slumped.
A source in the Senate disclosed that the nominee was suffering from exhaustion.
Lawal is one of the three new ministerial nominees being screened by the Senate alongside Dr Jamila Bio Ibrahim from Kwara State and Mr. Ayodele Olawande from Ondo State.
He was the second nominee to be screened after the Senate Leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, moved a motion to extend the sitting time beyond 2 p.m to conclude all the items for the day.
