President Bola Tinubu nominates Dr. Bernard Doro as Minister of the Federal Republic, pending Senate confirmation in Abuja.
President Bola Tinubu has nominated Dr. Bernard Doro from Plateau State as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, forwarding 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 All Progressives Congress (APC) in July.
The development was announced in a statement on Tuesday by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
Born on January 23, 1969, in Kwall, Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, Dr. Bernard Doro brings over two decades of professional experience spanning clinical practice, pharmaceutical management, strategic leadership, and community development in both Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
“He holds degrees in Pharmacy and Law, an MBA with a focus on IT-driven business strategy, and a Master’s in Advanced Clinical Practice,” Onanuga said.
“He is also an Independent Prescriber and Advanced Clinical Practitioner with frontline experience across NHS urgent care, GP practices, and hospital settings in the UK,” the statement added.
Beyond his medical and administrative expertise, Doro is known for his work in youth mentorship and social impact initiatives within the Nigerian diaspora and local communities.
If confirmed by the Senate, Dr. Doro will be sworn in as a Minister of the Federal Republic at the next Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, joining President Tinubu’s expanding cabinet as part of ongoing governance reforms.
