Oloyede Hands Over as JAMB Registrar, Aina Assumes Office

Professor Is-haq Oloyede on Friday officially handed over to Professor Segun Aina as the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), bringing his 10-year tenure at the examination body to an end.

President Bola Tinubu had earlier appointed Aina as the new Registrar of JAMB, with the appointment announced in a statement by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

A Professor of Computer Engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Aina is widely recognised for his expertise in digital infrastructure, national examination systems, and institutional reforms.

He holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Systems Engineering from the University of Kent, a Master’s degree in Internet Computing and Network Security, and a PhD in Digital Signal Processing from Loughborough University, United Kingdom.

He also completed the Senior Management Programme at Lagos Business School.

According to the Presidency, Aina has over 15 years of experience advising federal and state governments on digital transformation, institutional reforms, and systems design.

He has also served as a consultant to examination bodies, including the National Examinations Council (NECO) and the National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB), with a focus on ICT systems and examination integrity.

The Presidency described Aina as one of Nigeria’s youngest professors of Computer Engineering and noted that he is the youngest person to be appointed Registrar of JAMB.

President Tinubu expressed confidence that Aina would build on the reforms and achievements recorded under Oloyede’s leadership while further strengthening the operations of the examination body.
