President Bola Tinubu on Thursday administered the oath of office to Dr Bernard Doro and Dr Kingsley Udeh, officially inducting both men into the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
Ashenews reports that the ceremony was held at 1:52 p.m. inside the Council Chamber of the State House, Abuja, shortly before the commencement of the first FEC meeting since July 2025.
With their swearing-in, Plateau and Enugu, two states that had been without ministerial representation for weeks, now have their seats restored in the federal cabinet.
Doro, a UK-trained clinical practitioner and public health administrator, was nominated on October 21 to replace Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, who vacated the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction after his emergence as APC National Chairman on July 31.
Hailing from Kwall in Bassa LGA of Plateau State, Doro boasts over two decades of experience in clinical medicine, pharmacy, and technology-driven health strategy.
The Presidency noted that he holds multiple degrees in Pharmacy, Law, and Advanced Clinical Practice, and has served extensively within the UK’s National Health Service (NHS).
