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

He holds degrees in Pharmacy and Law, an MBA with a focus on IT-driven business strategy, and a Master’s in Advanced Clinical Practice.

A registered Independent Prescriber and Advanced Clinical Practitioner, Dr Doro has extensive NHS frontline experience across urgent care, walk-in centres, GP practices, and hospital settings.

Beyond his professional work, he has been actively involved in youth mentorship and social impact programmes within the diaspora and local communities.
