He has a multidisciplinary background that includes clinical practice, pharmaceutical management, strategic leadership, and community engagement. Academically, Dr. Doro holds degrees in Pharmacy and Law, an MBA focused on IT-driven business strategy, and a Master’s in Advanced Clinical Practice.
A highly experienced healthcare professional, Dr. Doro is an Independent Prescriber and Advanced Clinical Practitioner with significant frontline experience in the UK’s National Health Service (NHS). His work in the NHS covered urgent care, walk-in centres, GP practices, and hospital settings.
Beyond his professional career, Dr. Doro has also been actively involved in youth mentorship and various social impact initiatives across the diaspora and local communities.
If confirmed by the Senate, Dr. Doro will replace the former minister from Plateau State in the Federal Executive Council.
