President Bola Tinubu on Thursday, inside the Council Chamber of the State House, Abuja, officially administered the oath of office to Dr Bernard Doro and Dr Kingsley Udeh as ministers, which will now confirmed their membership in the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
With the swearing-in of the duo on Thursday it thus restores cabinet representation for Plateau and Enugu States, both of which had been without ministerial presence in the past few weeks.
Recall that Doro was nominated by Tinubu on October 21 to replace Prof Nentawe Yilwatda, who vacated the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction after emerging as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress on July 31, 2025.
Meanwhile, Udeh, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Enugu State until his nomination, replaces Uche Nnaji, the former Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, who resigned on October 7, 2025, following controversies over his academic records at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
Udeh, recently conferred with the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria, was nominated by the President on November 4 and was confirmed by the Senate soon afterwards.
