President Tinubu Nominates Dr. Musa Doro for Ministerial Appointment

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has nominated Dr. Musa Doro for a ministerial appointment and has formally requested the Senate’s confirmation of his nomination.

The development was announced in a statement on Tuesday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, who revealed that the president’s letter has been transmitted to the Senate for consideration.

It remains unclear which portfolio Dr. Doro will oversee if confirmed. He hails from Plateau State, the same state as Nentawe Yilwatda, who was recently elected National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in July. Yilwatda had previously served as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction.

A Seasoned Professional with Diverse Experience

Born on January 23, 1969, in Kwall, Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, Dr. Doro boasts over two decades of professional experience spanning healthcare, pharmaceutical management, leadership, and community development — both in Nigeria and the United Kingdom.

He holds degrees in Pharmacy and Law, as well as an MBA with a specialization in IT-driven business strategy. In addition, he earned a Master’s degree in Advanced Clinical Practice.

Dr. Doro is an Independent Prescriber and Advanced Clinical Practitioner with the United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS), where he has worked in urgent care, general practice, walk-in centres, and hospital settings.

Beyond his medical career, Doro has also been active in youth mentorship and social impact initiatives, contributing to community development efforts both within the diaspora and at home in Nigeria.

Mr. Onanuga stated that President Tinubu expects the Senate to give the nomination prompt and thorough consideration, noting that Dr. Doro’s wealth of experience aligns with the administration’s ongoing reform and service delivery goals.
