President Bola Tinubu has nominated Dr. Bernard Mohammed Doro as a new minister from Plateau State.

The development followed the appointment of the former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Yilwatda is from Plateau State.

Presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, who announced this in a statement on Tuesday, said the nomination is, however, subject to confirmation by the upper legislative chamber, the Senate.

According to Onanuga, the President had already sent the details of the appointee to the Senate for confirmation.

Doro was born on January 23, 1969, in Kwall, Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State.

Onanuga said the appointee has over 20 years of multidisciplinary experience in clinical practice, pharmaceutical management, strategic leadership, and community engagement in the UK and Nigeria.
