President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has forwarded the name of Dr. Bernard Mohammed Doro from Plateau State to the Senate for confirmation as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The announcement was made on Tuesday by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.

In a letter to the National Assembly, President Tinubu requested that Dr. Doro be screened and confirmed to fill Plateau State’s ministerial position, following Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda’s election as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in July. Yilwatda had previously served as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction.

Born on January 23, 1969, in Kwall, Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, Dr. Doro brings over 20 years of experience spanning clinical practice, pharmaceutical management, strategic leadership, and community engagement 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. Dr. Doro is also an Independent Prescriber and Advanced Clinical Practitioner, having worked extensively in the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) across urgent care, walk-in centres, general practice, and hospital settings.

In addition to his professional career, Dr. Doro has been actively involved in youth mentorship and social impact initiatives within the Nigerian diaspora and local communities.
