Segun Aina, JAMB’s registrar, has unveiled a seven-point technology reform agenda, signalling a renewed push to modernise the board through digital innovation, stronger cybersecurity and more efficient service delivery, as he sets the tone for his administration.
Aina, who formally took over as registrar on Friday, succeeding Ishaq Oloyede after a decade in the role, rolled out a five-year strategic plan targeting deeper digitisation of its operations.
The 40-year-old professor of computer engineering was named substantive registrar by President Bola Tinubu in May, becoming the youngest person to hold the office.
He resumed duty on Monday, outlining a five-year roadmap, which targets institutional overhaul, branded “JAMB 2031: Building Trust, Reducing Trauma.” The agenda covers 2026 to 2031 and is structured around what he calls ‘Project 2:5:7’, which stands for two strategic objectives, five pillars and seven flagship initiatives, according to a statement from Fabian Benjamin, JAMB spokesperson.
The plan is designed to position JAMB as ‘Africa’s most trusted, innovative and accessible assessment and admissions institution,’ building on what Aina described as the gains recorded under his predecessor.
