President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Professor Segun Aina as the new Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), succeeding Professor Ishaq Oloyede whose second tenure ends on July 31, 2026.
A statement issued by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga described Aina as a renowned academic and systems expert with vast experience in examination administration, digital infrastructure, and public-sector reforms.
According to the statement, Aina, who turns 40 in July, holds a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Computer Systems Engineering from the University of Kent, as well as an MSc in Internet Computing and Network Security and a PhD in Digital Signal Processing from Loughborough University.
He also completed the Senior Management Programme at the Lagos Business School.
Currently a Professor of Computer Engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University, Aina reportedly began his relationship with JAMB during his National Youth Service, where he gained early experience in national admissions processing and data-driven institutional systems.
The Presidency noted that his exposure to examination systems during that period influenced his contributions to examination reforms and institutional optimisation over the years.
Professor Aina is also a member of several professional bodies, including the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).
