The Senate has confirmed the nominations of Dr Jamila Bio Ibrahim, Ayodele Olawande and Balarabe Abbas Lawal, as ministers.
Their confirmation was affirmed after a majority voice vote immediately after their screening exercise on Wednesday.
The exercise was interrupted when Mr Lawal, who was the second nominee to be screened, collapsed in the Senate chamber about 15 minutes into his screening.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio immediately ordered journalists and cameras out of the chamber while the live streaming of the screening was also halted.
The Senate resumed the ministerial screening almost one hour after the incident.
Speaking before calling the last nominee, Senate President Akpabio said Mr Lawal had admitted that he was exhausted from overworking days before the screening exercise.
