As part of efforts to promote fairness and balanced representation in federal appointments, the Plateau North Equity Project (PNEP) has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for nominating Hon. Dr. Bernard Mohammed Doro from Plateau North as a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The group, in a statement issued in Jos on October 27, described the nomination as a reflection of justice and inclusion for the people of Plateau North.
According to the statement jointly signed by the Chairman, Hon. Samuel Parah, and Secretary, Hon.

The statement further noted that the nomination was appropriate, considering Dr. Doro’s proven capacity and integrity, which would strengthen the implementation of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
In their words:
“Your Excellency, the appointment of Bernard Mohammed Doro is appropriate, in view of his capacity and integrity, which will contribute immensely to the attainment of the Renewed Hope Agenda for Nigeria.”
PNEP also commended key leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Plateau State for their unity and coordination, which, according to the group, made the appointment possible.
“Our gratitude also goes to the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda Goshwe; the leader of the APC in Plateau State, Distinguished Senator Simon Bako Lalong; members of the National Assembly from Plateau State; and other APC stakeholders for their unity of purpose, which made this appointment possible,” the statement added.
