The Senate on Thursday confirmed Dr. Bernard Doro as the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, concluding President Bola Tinubu’s latest cabinet reshuffle aimed at strengthening social welfare and inclusion programmes.

Doro’s screening, which lasted less than 30 minutes, saw lawmakers express confidence in his leadership capacity and extensive experience. The Plateau State-born technocrat, who becomes the third minister from his state in the current administration, pledged to promote fairness, transparency, and inclusivity in Nigeria’s humanitarian interventions.

“I will create a humanitarian ecosystem that is inclusive, guided by impartiality and independence,” Doro assured senators during the session. Satisfied with his credentials and vision, the lawmakers confirmed his nomination without objection.

President Tinubu had earlier written to the Senate requesting Doro’s confirmation in line with Section 147(2) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). Senate President Godswill Akpabio read the letter at plenary and referred it to the Committee of the Whole for immediate action.

Doro’s appointment followed the elevation of his predecessor, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, who now serves as the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga described Doro as a highly qualified professional with over 20 years of experience spanning clinical practice, pharmaceutical management, and strategic leadership roles in Nigeria and the United Kingdom.

Born on January 23, 1969, in Kwall, Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, Doro holds degrees in Pharmacy and Law, an MBA in IT-driven business strategy, and a Master’s in Advanced Clinical Practice. “He is an Independent Prescriber and Advanced Clinical Practitioner with NHS frontline experience across urgent care, walk-in centres, GP practices, and hospital settings,” Onanuga noted.

With Thursday’s confirmation, Doro is expected to be sworn in as a member of the Federal Executive Council at its next meeting.
