Pope Leo XIV says control of artificial intelligence must not remain in the hands “of a few” while warning that technology is fueling world conflicts, setting out his proposals in the first major theological document of his pontificate. https://t.co/aGW3ke4odH

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

As evidenced by the unbridled promotion and implementation of technology at the expense of human dignity, we are truly experiencing an eclipse of the sense of what it means to be human. It is imperative to recover an understanding of the true meaning and grandeur of humanity as intended by God. It is in this sense that the challenge we currently face is not technological, but anthropological, and it is my hope that the Encyclical Letter to be published within a few days will contribute to answering this challenge.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

No nation, no society, and no international order can call itself just and humane if it measures its success solely by power or prosperity while neglecting those who live at the margins. Indeed, Christ’s love for the least and the forgotten compels us to reject every form of selfishness that leaves the poor and the vulnerable invisible.

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE

PRESIDENT TINUBU APPOINTS PROFESSOR SEGUN AINA AS NEW JAMB REGISTRAR

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Professor Segun Aina as the new Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), succeeding Professor Is-haq Oloyede, whose two-term tenure expires on July 31, 2026.

Professor Aina, who will be 40 in July, is a distinguished academic and systems expert with extensive experience in national examination systems, digital infrastructure, and public-sector institutional reform.

He holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Systems Engineering from the University of Kent, an MSc in Internet Computing and Network Security, and a PhD in Digital Signal Processing, both from Loughborough University, United Kingdom. He has also completed the Senior Management Programme at Lagos Business School.

A Professor of Computer Engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Aina began his career with JAMB during his National Youth Service, gaining foundational experience in national admissions and data-driven institutional processes. These insights have shaped his ongoing contributions to examination reform and systems optimisation.

With over 15 years of post-graduation experience, Professor Aina operates at the intersection of technology, policy, and institutional transformation, advising federal and state governments on system design, digital transition, and operational reform. At 39, he became one of Nigeria's youngest Computer Engineering professors and will now make history as JAMB’s youngest registrar.

He has served as a consultant to major examination bodies, including NECO, NABTEB, and various State Ministries of Education, providing expertise on ICT systems, examination integrity, and digital process optimisation.

Professor Aina is a member of several professional bodies, including the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).

President Tinubu expects Professor Aina to bring to bear his vast experience, knowledge and practical insight into the operations of the Board, to take the critical educational organisation beyond the laudable heights achieved by his predecessor.

Opinions I’ve held about this election that have caused hell to break loose:

- Neither of the big 3s are particularly good choices
- Tinubu is not as incoherent as the media portrayed him to be. He’s actually intelligent and answered the Rwanda interview questions well.
- Peter Obi derails everytime he is asked tough questions in interviews. He doesn’t sound as intelligent or prepared as his supporters project him to be.
- The Tinubu administration has made some positive economic reforms beneficial to the country long term. The hardship we face now is partly the brunt of reforms and partly bad governance.
- This same administration has however failed badly on security, among other sectors. People die everyday, kidnapping is on the rise. The primary purpose of government is security. If you fail at that, then regardless of your macro achievements, you are a failed government.
- Obidients are a very toxic group of narcissists and vile people. They do more harm than good to the movement. Not everyone will support your candidate. Get down from your high horse.
- All candidates must be thoroughly assessed and criticized; both the incumbent and those vying for office. Judge the incumbent by his manifesto vs performance. Ask challengers what exactly they plan to do differently.
- Critique of a candidate is not support for another.
- We are largely in trouble as a country. The fate of the 2027 election already is almost sealed.

Which one do you disagree with?

Pope Leo XIV’s first Encyclical Letter Magnifica Humanitas, on preserving the human person in the age of artificial intelligence, will be released on May 25, 2026.

Pope Leo XIV will personally present the encyclical at a Press Conference on that day.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In many countries, World Communications Day is being marked today, whose theme this year I have chosen as “Preserving Human Voices and Faces.” In this era of artificial intelligence, I encourage everyone to commit themselves to promoting forms of communication that always respect the truth of the human person, on which every technological innovation should be focused. https://t.co/q5SF19caCW

There is this feeling of serenity and lightness that comes after going to Confession. It feels as though a heavy load has been lifted off your shoulders. The peace that comes from being reconciled with God is truly indescribable.

Dear Catholics, be reminded that the Novena to the Holy Spirit in preparation for the Solemnity of the Pentecost begins tomorrow. Do well to take part in it either personally or with a group.
