Workers of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) are in an expectant and celebratory mood ahead of the resumption of duty of the newly appointed Registrar of the examination body, Prof. Segun Aina.
Although the official handover is still a few weeks away, indications from within the organisation suggest that staff members are eagerly awaiting the beginning of a new administration following the announcement of Prof. Aina’s appointment by the Federal Government in May.
The atmosphere among workers has been described as one of “quiet ecstasy” as they prepare to welcome the incoming Registrar with a series of activities expected to mark his arrival. Some Christian and Muslim members of staff are also planning thanksgiving services and prayers to celebrate the new leadership, which many believe will usher in a new chapter for JAMB.
For many workers, the excitement surrounding the incoming Registrar reflects their hope for positive changes and a renewed working environment within the organisation. They believe the new administration will provide the needed support to improve staff welfare, career progression, promotion opportunities and effective deployment of personnel.
The anticipation also highlights workers’ desire for a fresh beginning and an administration that will prioritise their well-being while strengthening the operations of the examination board.
