President Bola Tinubu has put forward the nomination of Dr. Bernard Doro from Plateau State as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and submitted his name to the Senate for confirmation.
Doro’s nomination follows the elevation of Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, the former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, who became the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress in July.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, announced the nomination in a statement issued on Tuesday.
Presidency officials disclosed that the President, during a private meeting with close aides on Monday evening, expressed his plan to appoint nominees for two vacant cabinet positions, including the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, who resigned several weeks ago.
Born on January 23, 1969, in Kwall, Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, Onanuga said Doro brings over two decades of experience in clinical practice, pharmaceutical management, strategic leadership, and community development in both the United Kingdom and Nigeria.
“He has degrees in Pharmacy and Law, an MBA focusing on IT-driven business strategy, and a Master’s in Advanced Clinical Practice.
“He is an Independent Prescriber and Advanced Clinical Practitioner with NHS frontline experience across urgent care, walk-in centres, GP practices, and hospital settings,” the statement read.
Beyond his professional and administrative background, Doro has been actively involved in youth mentorship and social impact projects within the Nigerian diaspora and local communities.
If confirmed, he will join President Tinubu’s cabinet and be sworn in during a Federal Executive Council meeting.
