Following the election of Nentawe Yilwatda as national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), President Bola Tinubu has submitted Bernard Mohammed Doro’s name to the Senate for confirmation as a federal minister.
Yilwatda previously served as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction.
Born on January 23, 1969, in Kwall, Bassa Local Government Area, Plateau State, Doro brings over 20 years of multidisciplinary experience spanning clinical practice, pharmaceutical management, strategic leadership, and community engagement in both the UK and Nigeria.
He holds degrees in Pharmacy and Law, an MBA focusing on IT-driven business strategy, and a Master’s in Advanced Clinical Practice. Doro is also an Independent Prescriber and Advanced Clinical Practitioner with frontline NHS experience in urgent care, walk-in centres, GP practices, and hospital settings.
Beyond his professional career, he has led youth mentorship and social impact initiatives in both diaspora and local communities.
The Senate is expected to review and confirm Doro’s nomination in line with constitutional procedures, paving the way for him to assume ministerial responsibilities.
