President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has nominated replacement for All Progressives Congress, APC National Chairman who was former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs following his emergence as the National Chairman of the party.
President Tinubu forwarded Dr. Bernard Mohammed Doro’s name from Plateau State to the Senate for confirmation as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
This was announced on Tuesday in a statement by Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
In a letter transmitted to the National Assembly, President Tinubu requested the Upper Chamber to screen and confirm Dr. Doro, who is expected to fill the ministerial slot of Plateau State following the election of Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in July.
Yilwatda served as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction before assuming the party’s top leadership position.
Born on January 23, 1969, in Kwall, Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, Dr. Doro brings to the federal cabinet over two decades of multidisciplinary experience spanning clinical practice, pharmaceutical management, strategic leadership, and community engagement in both the United Kingdom and Nigeria.
A highly accomplished professional, Doro holds degrees in Pharmacy and Law, an MBA with a focus on IT-driven business strategy, and a Master’s degree in Advanced Clinical Practice.
He is also an Independent Prescriber and Advanced Clinical Practitioner with extensive frontline experience in the United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS), having served in urgent care, walk-in centres, general practice, and hospital settings.
Beyond his professional career, Doro has been actively involved in youth mentorship and social impact initiatives in the Nigerian diaspora and within local communities.
