President Bola Tinubu has nominated Dr. Bernard Doro from Plateau State as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The nomination follows the vacancy created after Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda, the former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, was elected National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in July.
This development was announced on Tuesday by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President Tinubu on Information and Strategy. According to Onanuga, President Tinubu has formally written to the Senate, seeking legislative confirmation of Dr Doro’s appointment. While the specific ministerial portfolio remains undisclosed, Dr Doro’s selection is seen as a strategic move to maintain Plateau State’s representation in the Federal Executive Council.
The President, through his media aide, expressed confidence in Dr Bernard’s capacity to contribute meaningfully to the administration’s development agenda. He urged the Senate to expedite the confirmation process to ensure continuity in governance.
