Segun Aina, a professor of computer engineering at the Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile Ife, has been appointed new registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) by President Bola Tinubu.
He would succeed Ishaq Oloyede, whose two-term elapses on July 31, 2026. Oloyede was first appointed JAMB registrar on August 9, 2016, by then President Muhammadu Buhari, and was reappointed for a second term in August 2021.
Thirty-nine-year-old Aina, who turns 40 in July, would become JAMB’s youngest ever registrar.
In a statement announcing the appointment, Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president on information and strategy, said Aina “is a distinguished academic and systems expert with extensive experience in national examination systems, digital infrastructure, and public-sector institutional reform”.
The new examination body head 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,” Onanuga said.
“Aina began his career with JAMB during his National Youth Service, gaining foundational experience in national admissions and data-driven institutional processes.
