President Bola Tinubu has forwarded a letter to the Senate seeking the confirmation of Bernard Doro from Plateau State as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
BusinessDay gathered that although, no specific position was attached to the President’s letter, he may be moved to the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, to replace Nentawe Yilwatda, who was elected recently as chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, said in a statement, that Doro’s nomination follows Nentawe Yilwatda’s election as the 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, Doro has over 20 years of multidisciplinary experience in clinical practice, pharmaceutical management, strategic leadership, and community engagement in the United Kingdom 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.
