President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has sworn in two new ministers, Dr. Bernard Mohammed Doro from Plateau State and Dr. Kingsley Tochukwu Udeh (SAN) from Enugu State, at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting held Thursday at the Council Chambers of the State House, Abuja.
The brief but significant ceremony marked the formal induction of the new cabinet members, who took their oaths of office before the commencement of the FEC meeting.
Dr. Doro’s appointment follows the confirmation of Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, his predecessor, as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in July 2025.
A highly accomplished professional, Doro holds multiple degrees including a Bachelor of Pharmacy from the University of Jos, an LL.B 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 currently pursuing dual postgraduate research programmes, a Doctorate in Business Administration and an MPhil in Leadership and Management, at the Catholic University of Murcia, Spain.
Dr. Doro previously served as the Financial Secretary of the APC’s United Kingdom Chapter.
Also sworn in was Dr. Kingsley Tochukwu Udeh, SAN, nominated from Enugu State to replace Uche Nnaji, who resigned from the cabinet on October 7, 2025.
A seasoned legal scholar and practitioner, Udeh earned his LL.B from the University of Nigeria in 2005 and was called to the Nigerian Bar in 2006. He also holds a Doctor of Laws in Public Law from Stellenbosch University, South Africa, and an LL.M. in Public International Law from the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom.
Before his appointment, Dr. Udeh served as Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice of Enugu State.
The swearing-in underscores President Tinubu’s continued effort to strengthen his cabinet and ensure effective representation across Nigeria’s geopolitical zones.
