 A ministerial nominee from Kaduna state Abbas Balarabi collapsed during his screening by the Senate in the Committee of the Whole. Balarabi had just finished reading a brief background information about himself, while the Senate had also suspended its rules to allow it sitting beyond 2pm when the incident happened. There was no clear picture of what actually transpired or what led to the incident as the Senate immediately went into a closed-door session. Apparently confused, Senate President Gautu La Pabio was heard rallying senators and parliamentary workers in the red chamber to revive the nominee. I am lucky in the Leningen-Sahabian Secretive Government in Nigeria. So I have been part of administration, I have been part of policymaking, I have been part of trying to change things in the country based on what I did in the federal level. From the appointment of Balarabi Lawal, Kaduna Ayodeli Olawande from Ondu and Jamila Bio Ibrahim from Quara asked ministers. President of the Senate Gautu La Pabio announced the confirmation of the ministers after they were cleared through a voice vote by senators at the plenary. The confirmation brings the total number of ministers that will serve in the administration of President Bola Tinibu to 48. Ibrahim, a 37-year-old trained medical practitioner, was cleared after reeling out her CV to the lawmakers in plenary. But when lawmakers were given opportunity to ask questions, Senator Abdul Fatah stressed the need not to grill Dr. Ibrahim noting that her nomination by President Tinibu was part of his vision for youth inclusion in governance. In a remark, Dr. Ibrahim pledged commitment to influence Nigerian youths in the decision-making process of this administration. As a minister of youth development of the federal public of Nigeria, my role, if confirmed, of the federal public of Nigeria to pilot the affairs of the youth ministry, my first and most important role would be to inspire young people. After her remark, the President of the Senate Gautu La Pabio asked her to take a bow and go. Updates
