President Bola Tinubu has nominated Dr Bernard Doro from Plateau State as a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, submitting his name to the Senate for approval.
Doro’s nomination follows the appointment of Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, the previous Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, as the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress in July.
Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, revealed the nomination in a statement released on Tuesday, October 21.
It was expected that the president would appoint nominees for two vacant positions in his cabinet, including that of the minister of innovation, science and technology, who resigned a few weeks ago.
Born in Kwall, Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, in 1969, Doro has several years of experience in clinical practice, pharmaceutical management, strategic leadership, and community development both in the United Kingdom and Nigeria, as noted by Onanuga.
In addition to his medical and administrative skills, Doro has been involved in youth mentorship and initiatives aimed at social impact within both the Nigerian diaspora and local communities.
If confirmed, he will become part of President Tinubu’s cabinet and will take the oath of office at a Federal Executive Council meeting.
