Wednesday, October 22, 2025 - President Bola Tinubu has nominated Bernard Doro from Plateau State as a Minister of the Federal Republic.
The announcement was made in a statement on Tuesday, October
21, by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo
Onanuga, who confirmed that Tinubu has sent a letter to the Senate seeking
Doro’s confirmation.
Doro’s nomination comes after the election of Nentawe
Yilwatda as the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman in July.
Yilwatda previously served as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty
Reduction.
Born on January 23, 1969, in Kwall, Bassa Local Government
Area of Plateau State, Doro brings more than two decades of professional
experience spanning clinical practice, pharmaceutical management, strategic
leadership, and community engagement across 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 degree in Advanced Clinical
Practice. Doro is also an Independent Prescriber and Advanced Clinical
Practitioner with hands-on experience in the UK’s National Health Service
(NHS), where he has worked in urgent care, walk-in centres, general practice,
and hospital settings.
Beyond his medical career, Doro has led several youth
mentorship and social impact initiatives both in the diaspora and in local
communities.
Onanuga noted that President Tinubu expects the Senate to give “due consideration” to the nomination and act promptly on the confirmation request.
