Nigeria’s president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Dr. Bernard Mohammed Doro as the new minister from Plateau State.
The new ministerial appointment was announced Tuesday in a statement issued by Bayo Onanuga, the president’s spokesman.
While the appointment is subject to confirmation by the senate, the statement said the president had already sent the appointee’s name to the senate for confirmation.
Dr. Doro’s nomination follows Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda’s election as the All Progressives Congress (APC) chairman in July. Yilwatda previously served as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction.
Born on January 23, 1969, in Kwall, Bassa LGA of Plateau State, Dr. Doro has over 20 years of multidisciplinary experience in clinical practice, pharmaceutical management, strategic leadership, and community engagement in the UK and Nigeria.
He has degrees in pharmacy and law, an MBA focusing on IT-driven business strategy, and a master’s in advanced clinical practice. In addition, he is an independent prescriber and advanced clinical practitioner with NHS frontline experience across urgent care, walk-in centres, GP practices, and hospital settings.
Dr. Doro has also led youth mentorship and social impact initiatives in the diaspora and local communities.
