Tinubu asks Senate to confirm Bernard Doro as minister

President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday wrote to the Senate seeking the screening and confirmation of Dr Bernard Mohammed Doro from Plateau State as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Tinubu’s letter was read on Wednesday by the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio.

After reading the letter in the red chamber of the National Assembly, Akpabio referred the nomination to the Committee of the Whole to report back as soon as practicable.

DAILY POST reports that Doro’s nomination follows Prof Nentawe Yilwatda’s emergence as the All Progressives Congress, APC, National chairman in July.

Yilwatda previously served as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction.

Recall that the President on Tuesday appointed Doro as a new minister from Plateau State.
