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.
Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, announced the nomination in a statement today.
Doro’s nomination comes after the elevation of Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, the former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, who was elected National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress in July.
Born on January 23, 1969, in Kwall, Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, Onanuga said Doro brings more than two decades of experience spanning clinical practice, pharmaceutical management, strategic leadership, and community development in both the United Kingdom and Nigeria.
Beyond his medical and administrative expertise, Doro has been active in youth mentorship and social impact initiatives in both the Nigerian diaspora and local communities.
If confirmed, he will join President Tinubu’s cabinet and be sworn in at a Federal Executive Council meeting.
It was also gathered that the President has expressed his intention to name nominees to occupy two vacant portfolios in his cabinet, including that of the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, who resigned weeks ago.
