President Bola Tinubu has submitted a letter to the Senate seeking the confirmation of Dr. Bernard Mohammed Doro from Plateau State as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This nomination comes in the wake of Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda’s election as the All Progressives Congress (APC) chairman in July, who previously served as the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction.
Dr. Doro, born on January 23, 1969, in Kwall, Bassa LGA of Plateau State, brings over 20 years of multidisciplinary experience in clinical practice, pharmaceutical management, strategic leadership, and community engagement both in the UK and Nigeria. He holds degrees in Pharmacy and Law, an MBA focused on IT-driven business strategy, and a Master’s in Advanced Clinical Practice.
As an Independent Prescriber and Advanced Clinical Practitioner, Dr. Doro has frontline experience with the NHS across urgent care, walk-in centres, GP practices, and hospital settings. Additionally, he has led youth mentorship and social impact initiatives within both diaspora and local communities.
