President Tinubu on Thursday swore in two new ministers, Dr Bernard Mohammed Doro from Plateau State and Dr Kingsley Tochukwu Udeh (SAN) from Enugu State, during a brief ceremony held at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting inside the Council Chambers of the State House, Abuja.
Their inauguration follows Senate confirmations earlier granted to fill vacancies created within the federal cabinet.
Dr Doro replaces Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, who vacated his ministerial nomination after emerging National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in July 2025.
A multidisciplinary professional, Doro’s academic profile spans a Bachelor of Pharmacy from the University of Jos, a Law degree from University College London (UCL), an MBA in Information Technology and Business Strategy from the University of Leicester, and an MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice from Anglia Ruskin University.
He is also pursuing a Doctorate in Business Administration and an Mphil in Leadership and Management at the Catholic University of Murcia, Spain, and previously served as Financial Secretary of the APC’s United Kingdom chapter.
