President Bola Tinubu has put forward Bernard Doro of Plateau State for confirmation as a Minister of the Federal Republic.
This was confirmed in a statement released on Tuesday by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy.
The President has sent a formal request to the Senate for Doro’s approval.
This nomination comes after the previous Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Nentawe Yilwatda, was elected as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in July, thereby creating the cabinet vacancy.
Doro, born on January 23, 1969, in Kwall, Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, has built a career spanning more than twenty years across various fields.
