Minister of State for Industry, Trade and Investment, Ambassador Maryam Yalwaji Katagum on Monday collapsed while on an official engagement in Bauchi State.
The News Carrier NG reports that the Minister was in Bauchi to launch an empowerment program at one of the shopping plazas in Bauchi. He suddenly slumped as she tried to deliver her speech at the ceremony and was immediately evacuated by officials to the Trauma center of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH) for immediate medical attention.
It was reported that the Minister who had been in Bauchi since Saturday featured in a live program on Globe FM radio on Sunday and had other personal engagements which must have exhausted her before the official program on Monday.
