President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has forwarded the name of Dr. Bernard Mohammed Doro to the Senate for confirmation as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The nomination, announced on Tuesday, fills a key vacancy in the Federal Executive Council (FEC).

​Dr. Doro, who hails from Plateau State, is expected to replace Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, who resigned in July following his election as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

While the specific portfolio for Dr. Doro has not been officially named, sources suggest he could be nominated to take up a vacant position such as the Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, or potentially the Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction role.

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.

He is an Independent Prescriber and Advanced Clinical Practitioner with NHS frontline experience across urgent care, walk-in centres, GP practices, and hospital settings.

He has also led youth mentorship and social impact initiatives in the diaspora and local communities.
