President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the appointment of Professor Segun Aina as the new Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, replacing Professor Ishaq Oloyede whose tenure ends on July 31, 2026.
The announcement was made on Thursday in a statement issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
Aina, a professor of Computer Engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University, is recognised for his expertise in digital infrastructure, examination systems and institutional reforms.
According to the Presidency, the incoming registrar earned a degree in Computer Systems Engineering from the University of Kent, alongside postgraduate degrees in Internet Computing, Network Security and Digital Signal Processing from Loughborough University. He also completed a senior management programme at Lagos Business School.
The statement noted that Aina has spent more than 15 years advising federal and state governments on digital transformation and system development. He has also consulted for examination bodies such as the National Examinations Council and the National Business and Technical Examinations Board on ICT and examination integrity.
The Presidency described him as one of Nigeria’s youngest professors in Computer Engineering and said he would become the youngest registrar in JAMB’s history.
Tinubu expressed confidence that Aina would consolidate on the reforms and achievements recorded under Oloyede’s administration and further strengthen the country’s examination system.
