President Bola Tinubu has formally requested that the Senate screen and confirm Dr. Bernard Mohammed Doro from Plateau State as the new Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction.
The President’s request was conveyed in a letter read on Wednesday by Senate President Godswill Akpabio during the plenary session. Akpabio then referred the nomination to the Committee of the Whole for prompt legislative action, instructing it to report back as quickly as possible.
Dr. Doro’s nomination was necessitated by the elevation of Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, the former Minister, who became the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in July.

Onanuga also highlighted Doro’s extensive qualifications, including: “He has degrees in Pharmacy and Law, an MBA focusing on IT-driven business strategy, and a Master’s in Advanced Clinical Practice.”
