President Bola Tinubu has nominated Bernard Doro from Plateau State as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, announced in a statement on Tuesday that President Tinubu has sent a letter to the Senate requesting Doro’s confirmation.
Dr Doro’s nomination comes after Nentawe Yilwatda was elected as the All Progressives Congress (APC) chairman in July. Yilwatda had previously served as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction.
Born on 23 January 1969 in Kwall, Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, Doro brings over twenty years of professional experience. He has worked in clinical practice, pharmaceutical management, strategic leadership, and community engagement across the United Kingdom and Nigeria.
Dr Doro holds degrees in Pharmacy and Law, an MBA specialising in IT-driven business strategy, and a Master’s degree in Advanced Clinical Practice.
He is an Independent Prescriber and Advanced Clinical Practitioner with extensive frontline experience in the National Health Service (NHS), covering urgent care, walk-in centres, general practice, and hospital settings across the UK.
Beyond his medical career, Doro has led several youth mentorship and social impact initiatives both in the diaspora and within local communities.
Onanuga added that President Tinubu expects the Senate to give due consideration to Doro’s nomination.
