President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has nominated Bernard Doro as a minister in his administration. The nomination, which was announced on Tuesday, has been sent to the Senate for screening and confirmation. The move is part of the President’s ongoing effort to strengthen his cabinet and improve governance delivery across key sectors.

According to reliable sources from the Presidency, Bernard Doro’s nomination followed careful consultation and evaluation of his experience in both public and private sectors. He is expected to bring fresh ideas and contribute to national development once confirmed. The Senate is expected to conduct the screening exercise in the coming days.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio confirmed receipt of the nomination letter from the President during plenary. He directed the Clerk of the Senate to make necessary arrangements for Doro’s screening and report back to the chamber. Lawmakers have since expressed readiness to fast-track the process.

If confirmed, Bernard Doro will join the list of newly appointed ministers under Tinubu’s government, which has undergone several reshuffles since its inauguration in 2023. His portfolio has not yet been officially disclosed, but political analysts believe he may be assigned to a strategic ministry given his professional background.

The nomination has generated mixed reactions across the political space. While some commend President Tinubu for choosing a competent technocrat, others have called for transparency and merit-based appointments that reflect national unity and inclusiveness.
