The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board is set to begin a new chapter in its leadership on Friday as its outgoing Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, formally hands over to his successor, Prof. Segun Aina.
In a statement released on Wednesday, JAMB announced that the handover ceremony would take place at 10 a.m. on Friday, July 31, 2026, and would be streamed live on the board’s official social media platforms.
The board invited members of the public to witness what it described as a landmark event in its leadership transition.
“Join us for the live broadcast of the official handover ceremony as Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, the outgoing Registrar of JAMB, formally hands over to Prof. Segun Aina,” the statement read.
The event marks the conclusion of Oloyede’s tenure, which officially ends on July 31, and the commencement of Aina’s leadership of the examination body.
President Bola Tinubu had earlier appointed Aina as the new Registrar of JAMB to succeed Oloyede. The appointment was announced in a statement by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
According to the Presidency, Aina is a Professor of Computer Engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, with extensive expertise in digital infrastructure, national examination systems and institutional reforms.
He holds a Bachelor of Engineering degree 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.
The Presidency noted that Aina has over 15 years of experience advising federal and state governments on digital transformation, systems design and institutional reforms.
He has also worked as a consultant to examination bodies, including the National Examinations Council and the National Business and Technical Examinations Board, providing expertise on ICT systems and examination integrity.
Describing him as one of Nigeria’s youngest professors of Computer Engineering, the Presidency said Aina would become the youngest Registrar in JAMB’s history.
President Tinubu expressed confidence that the incoming registrar would build on the reforms and achievements recorded during Oloyede’s tenure while further strengthening the operations of the examination body.
