Tinubu appoints 39-year old prof Aina as JAMB registrar
President Bola Tinubu has appointed 39-year old professor Segun Aina as the new registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
Aina would be succeeding professor Ishaq Oloyede, whose tenure expires on July 31, 2026.
This was contained in a statement on Thursday issued by the special adviser to the president on information and strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
The statement said Aina posseses 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.
According to the statement, Aina has over 15 years of professional experience, being one of Nigeria’s youngest professors in Computer Engineering.
It further revealed Aina’s work experience, having consulted for examination bodies.
“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 in the ability of the newly appointed registrar to bring his vast experience to bear in the board’s operation.
“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 said.
