His confirmation marks him as the third ministerial nominee from Plateau State, reflecting the administration’s continued commitment to inclusive governance.
During the screening, Dr. Doro outlined his vision to strengthen the nation’s humanitarian system. He emphasized his plan to build an inclusive humanitarian ecosystem guided by principles of impartiality, independence, and collaboration. Speaking to lawmakers, he said his goal is to create better synergy between security agencies and humanitarian actors to effectively reach those affected by crises — a challenge he believes can be addressed through technology-driven solutions.
Senators commended Dr. Doro for his impressive credentials, leadership experience, and clarity of vision. Following a few questions, the lawmakers expressed their confidence in his capacity to serve and asked him to “take a bow and go,” completing his confirmation process.
Dr. Bernard Doro’s appointment has drawn attention from analysts and stakeholders following his promise to bring innovation and transparency into humanitarian response management. His confirmation adds to President Bola Tinubu’s growing cabinet of technocrats expected to drive reform across key national sectors.
