President Tinubu has officially appointed Professor Segun Aina as the new JAMB Registrar! He will be taking over from Professor Is-haq Oloyede when his tenure ends on July 31, 2026.

This is a massive shift for the Nigerian education sector because Prof. Aina is making history as the youngest JAMB Registrar ever at just 39 years old.

Here is a quick look at his heavy profile:

Background: Professor of Computer Engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife.

Education: B.Eng from University of Kent, MSc and PhD (Digital Signal Processing) from Loughborough University, UK.

JAMB Roots: He actually started his career as an NYSC corper working inside JAMB, so he knows the system inside out.

Expertise: He’s been a consultant for NECO, NABTEB, and various ministries on ICT systems and exam integrity.

With a pure tech and computer engineering background, we should be expecting some major digital upgrades, faster portal tracking, and automated systems for university admissions moving forward.

What are your expectations for the new JAMB boss? Do you think he can outperform Oloyede's massive legacy?

Sounds good. He is definitely an IT expert, leadership and coordination of people is an entirely different ball.game and requires wisdom patience and courage.

I wish him all the best.

Yes he can make huge difference in the system, if politics does not take better part of him.

At 39, he isn’t a youth. Yes, he’s the youngest. He’s not a youth.

39 years old Prof definitely has a lot of positive inputs to make in the system.....

If only our present University system can wake up from their sleep, it will be easier for people within the Nigerian university system to become professors.

Don't know why there has to be over 15years of waiting time before a PhD holder can become a Prof because of academic and bureaucratic bottle necks ..smh

JAMB Roots: He actually started his career as an NYSC corper working inside JAMB, so he knows the system inside out.

Expertise: He’s been a consultant for NECO, NABTEB, and various ministries on ICT systems and exam integrity.


Just to justify his appointment

Why at just 39 e come gather grey beards like this nau?

Anyways, it's good young Nigerians be given the opportunity to lead.

You are either young or old. He's obviously not old, so he's a youth.

Audio resume with no records of having an impact in previous experience.



Seems he got plugged in. He's part of the problem in the first place.

Nonsense. Na dia type dey loot pass.

He is not a youth ke? Youthful age ends at what age sir?

Dictionaries are scarce. There is always ChatGPT. Funny how people run around with ignorant opinions despite every phone possessing WhatsApp messenger. Ask Meta AI the age range for youth. No wonder Ojerinde may return in two years to reclaim the position because he’s still youthful.

-His 85 years old Dad, Emeritus Professor Olu Aina is the current Chairman Governing Body of National Universities Commission(NUC).
-Now son has been appointed Registrar JAMB
- Tinubu appointed father in 2025, then appointed son in 2026, both agencies interact with each other
- Is God not wonderful like this,
- As you are standing on the mandate, Know what you are standing on o, make sure they are appointing you or your own children too o
I say make I tell you

BONUS POINT: Bisi Akande is current Chairman of the Governing Board of the University of Ibadan.
Bisi Akande is Tinubus right hand man and leader of APC, he signed Tinubus ticket for 2027 Presidency
Bisi Akande is a very close friend of Emeritus Professor Olu Aina
Emeritus Professor Olu Aina the father of the newly appointed Segun Aina registrar of JAMB, was Head of NABTEB. He is also current ICPC board member at 85
Bisi Akandes daughter- Temitope Ilori was also appointed Director General of NACA by Tinubu recently

His 85 years old dad who is Chairman Governing Council of National Universities Commission, also a member of ICPC board is getting old.
His child has to replace him in the system.
Bisi Akande, Professor olu Aina the father of the just appointed JAMB registrar and Tinubu are pals

Hopefully the ones standing on the BATs mandate will be remebered for appointment before the second coming of Christ

It takes almost 6 years for you to get tenure in the US. After that, the Lord is your muscle for the next 10 years to attain full professorship, especially in a R1 university.

Must we always allow the computers and our creations to think for us? Even a five year old would tell you that a 39 year old is not an old man. And the opposite of old is young. Simple.

Well, it’s all about the buzz. A little bit of hype, really. they’s definitely got the pulse, right? And the whole thing is a good, solid, predictable routine for a brilliant, established figure.

…and thus was why I gave up debating on Nairaland.
