President Bola Tinubu, on Thursday, appointed Prof Segun Aina, a Computer Engineering professor at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, as the new Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.
He succeeds Prof Is-haq Oloyede, whose two-term tenure expires on July 31, 2026.
Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, revealed this in a statement he signed on Thursday, stating that Aina, who will turn 40 in July, will be the youngest registrar in JAMB’s history, having already made history at 39 as one of Nigeria’s youngest professors of Computer Engineering.
Aina holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Systems Engineering from the University of Kent, MSc in Internet Computing and Network Security, and a PhD in Digital Signal Processing, both from Loughborough University in the United Kingdom.
