President Tinubu Appoints Professor Segun Aina As New JAMB Registrar

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Professor Segun Aina as the new Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). He succeeds Professor Is‑haq Oloyede, whose two-term tenure ends on July 31, 2026.

Professor Aina, who turns 40 in July, becomes the youngest Registrar in JAMB’s history. A distinguished academic and systems engineer, he brings deep expertise in digital infrastructure, examination integrity, and institutional reform.

He holds a B.Eng. in Computer Systems Engineering from the University of Kent, an MSc in Internet Computing & Network Security, and a PhD in Digital Signal Processing from Loughborough University, UK. He also completed the Senior Management Programme at Lagos Business School.
A Professor of Computer Engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University, Aina began his career at JAMB during his NYSC, gaining early exposure to national admissions processes and data-driven system design.

With 15+ years of post-graduation experience, he has advised federal and state governments on digital transition, system optimisation, and examination reforms. He has also consulted for NECO, NABTEB, and multiple State Ministries of Education.

Professor Aina is a member of COREN, NSE, IEEE, and IET.
President Tinubu expects him to deploy his technical depth and reform experience to advance JAMB beyond the achievements of his predecessor.
