Tinubu Appoints Prof Segun Aina As New JAMB Registrar by InfoGuru118(op): 11:29am On May 21

President Bola Tinubu has appointed Professor Segun Aina as the new Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, succeeding Professor Ishaq Oloyede, whose tenure expires on July 31, 2026.

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

According to the statement, Aina is a professor of Computer Engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, with expertise in digital infrastructure, national examination systems and institutional reforms.

“Professor Aina, who will be 40 in July, is a distinguished academic and systems expert with extensive experience in national examination systems, digital infrastructure, and public-sector institutional reform.

“He holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Systems Engineering from the University of Kent, an MSc in Internet Computing and Network Security, and a PhD in Digital Signal Processing, both from Loughborough University, United Kingdom. He has also completed the Senior Management Programme at Lagos Business School,” the statement read.

The statement added that Aina has over 15 years of professional experience advising federal and state governments on digital transition, institutional reforms and system design.

It also described him as one of Nigeria’s youngest professors in Computer Engineering, noting that he would become the youngest registrar in JAMB’s history.

The Presidency said Aina had previously worked as a consultant to examination bodies, including the National Examinations Council and the National Business and Technical Examinations Board on ICT systems and examination integrity.

“He is also a member of professional organisations, including the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria, the Nigerian Society of Engineers, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the Institution of Engineering and Technology,” the statement added.

Tinubu expressed confidence that the new registrar would build on the achievements recorded under Oloyede’s administration.

“President Tinubu expects Professor Aina to bring to bear his vast experience, knowledge and practical insight into the operations of the Board, to take the critical educational organisation beyond the laudable heights achieved by his predecessor,” the statement added.

I don't have any problem if he's competent enough to lead the Tertiary education examination body.

His predecessor, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede belongs to the old school generation, who never touched a computer throughout his university days as an undergraduate. This is the reason why the JAMB website is so poorly designed with lack of user-friendly interface. I hope this young chap will change the narrative.

How do you have a website that does not permit someone to update contact phone number? Other personal details like name and age, I can understand. The phone numbers we use are not ours. they belong to the mobile operators and can be recycled any time. If you misplaced your number used in previous JAMB registration, just know that you cannot change the lost number on their portal with a new one. If you're not able to reclaim the lost number from the operator, then you've got a serious problem. The implication is that you can't use SMS or USSD to check your exam result should you resit for JAMB again. It's so horrible. The option to use online checking is not readily available. Almost 4 weeks that the 2026 UTME was concluded, the online viewing of result is not allowed by JAMB yet. Why all this fv*king delay? I bring this up in defence of those candidates suffering this poorly applied technical reasoning of the JAMB officials.

Oloyede is Somebody that is efficient and proactive but most of his good side has been attenuated or water down by his pro-radical tendencies and I believe the last hijab issue and controversy one of the reason why he was replaced.

He has finished his 10 year tenure and was not replaced because of any issue. You people should do some research before writing anything that come to mind

I thought you people said you were tired of old people heading things in Nigeria.

As soon as a brilliant young professor with all the right credentials is appointed, you no longer care that the appointee is young and has the rare technical pedigree.

If the man is a 60 year old non Yoruba with a background in Biology and doesn'tknow his right from left when it comes to technology, you would prefer him along as he is non-Yoruba huh

Mr Tinubu should employ the best hands available to fill jobs of national importance, wherever they come from.
