The Senate on Thursday confirmed Bernard Doro as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria following a screening session that lasted less than 30 minutes.
Doro, the third ministerial nominee from Plateau State, outlined his vision to build an inclusive and technology-driven humanitarian ecosystem guided by impartiality and independence.
During his appearance before lawmakers, he pledged to strengthen collaboration between security agencies to ensure better targeting and support for people affected by crises, noting that coordination remains a major challenge.
After a brief round of questions, senators expressed satisfaction with his qualifications and asked him to “take a bow and leave.”
President Bola Tinubu nominated Doro last week to replace Nentawe Yilwatda, former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, who resigned to become National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Born on April 23, 1969, in Kwall, Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, Doro brings more than two decades of professional experience across healthcare, law, and leadership. He holds degrees in Pharmacy and Law, as well as an MBA focused on IT-driven business strategy.
An Independent Prescriber and Advanced Clinical Practitioner with the UK National Health Service (NHS), Doro has worked across urgent care, general practice, and hospital settings. Beyond medicine, he has also led youth mentorship and social impact initiatives in both the diaspora and local communities.
