PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu has forwarded a letter to the Senate seeking the confirmation of Dr Bernard Doro from Plateau State as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Dr Doro’s nomination follows Prof Nentawe Yilwatda’s election as the All Progressives Congress (APC) chairman in July. Yilwatda previously served as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction.
This was contained in a statement posted yesterday on X (former Twitter) by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga. Born on January 23, 1969, in Kwall, Bassa Local Government Area 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.
