President Bola 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 nomination was contained in a letter transmitted to the Senate, following the elevation of Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, the former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, who was elected as 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, Dr. Doro brings over two decades of professional experience spanning clinical practice, pharmaceutical management, strategic leadership, and community engagement in both the United Kingdom and Nigeria.

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.

A seasoned health professional, Dr. Doro is an Independent Prescriber and Advanced Clinical Practitioner with extensive frontline experience in the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) — including urgent care, walk-in centres, general practice, and hospital settings.

Beyond his medical career, he has also been active in youth mentorship and social impact initiatives across diaspora and local communities.

The nomination was announced in a statement by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, dated October 21, 2025.
