President Bola Tinubu has nominated Dr Bernard Doro from Plateau State as a new Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The nomination was announced in a letter sent to the Senate for confirmation, Presidential Spokesperson Bayo Onanuga said in a statement on Tuesday.
Dr Doro’s appointment follows the elevation of Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, who previously held the position of Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction before becoming the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in July.
Born on January 23, 1969, in Kwall, Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, Doro boasts more than 20 years of professional experience in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, business strategy, and community leadership in both Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
He holds degrees in Pharmacy and Law, alongside an MBA specializing in IT-driven business strategy and a Master’s in Advanced Clinical Practice.
An Independent Prescriber and Advanced Clinical Practitioner, Doro has worked across various NHS facilities, including urgent care units, walk-in centres, general practices, and hospitals.
Beyond his professional career, Doro has been actively involved in youth mentorship and social impact programmes both within Nigeria and among the diaspora community.
