Just In: Tinubu Appoints Segun Aina As New JAMB Registrar

President Bola Tinubu has appointed Professor Segun Aina as the new Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), succeeding Professor Is-haq Oloyede whose second and final tenure will end on July 31, 2026.

The appointment was announced on Thursday in a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

Professor Aina, a Computer Engineering expert at Obafemi Awolowo University, is regarded as one of Nigeria’s youngest professors in the field and is expected to take over from Oloyede after the expiration of the current registrar’s tenure.

According to the Presidency, the incoming JAMB registrar has extensive experience in examination systems, digital infrastructure, and institutional reforms within the public sector.

Aina holds a degree in Computer Systems Engineering from the University of Kent, United Kingdom, alongside postgraduate qualifications in Internet Computing, Network Security, and Digital Signal Processing from Loughborough University.

Professor Oloyede, who assumed office as JAMB registrar in 2016, is widely credited with reforming the examination body through increased transparency, digital transformation, and improved revenue remittances to the Federal Government.
