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.

How do you fund infrastructure of this magnitude from monthly FAAC remittances?
In a highly inflationary environment and unstable revenue climate, What do you think will happen to your contract estimate / contract variation?
This is why we have abandoned contracts of 30 years all over the country. Ilorin - Ibadan dual carriage way was awarded in 2001 for N31bn. A contract that should have taken 2 years wasn't completed in 25 years. The road was re-awarded this year for N147bn.
You want contractors to mobilise equipment to site and start waiting for your monthly disbursement to buy granite.
1. Is it hard to see that ASUU hasn't gone on strike in a while?
2. Is NELFUND hard to see?
3. Is Lagos-Calabar Road hard to see?
4. Abuja - Lokoja Road under repair hard?
5. All the Roads being rehabilitated in Abuja are hard to see?
6. Stability of FX and monetary policy is hard to see?
7. Increased allocations to States hard to see?
8. Sokoto - Badagry road is hard to see?
9. Oyo - Ogbomoso Road under construction is hard to see?
10. East-West Road under construction is hard to see?
11. EBS and ECS newly signed to law is hard to see?
12. Improved Foreign Reserves is hard to see?
13. Banking Reforms that now makes our Naira Card work abroad is hard to see (possible because of solid monetary policy)?
14. Ilorin - Jebba - Mokwa road under construction is hard to see?
15. Our airlines indebtedness now sorted which now made Emirates return to Nigeria is hard to see?

Concrete Works Advance on Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway in Ogun State
Construction work is progressing steadily on the 1,000km Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway, with ongoing concrete casting currently underway at the Atan axis in Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State.
The project, one of the major federal infrastructure developments under the Renewed Hope infrastructure drive, is being executed using durable rigid pavement technology designed to withstand heavy industrial traffic along key economic corridors linking Agbara, Lusada, and northern transport routes.
According to updates from the project site, the use of reinforced concrete pavement is aimed at improving road lifespan and enhancing efficiency for freight movement across multiple industrial and commercial zones.
When completed, the highway is expected to significantly reduce travel time, improve logistics operations, and strengthen trade connectivity across approximately seven states along its corridor.
The initiative is being supervised by the Federal Ministry of Works as part of ongoing efforts to modernize Nigeria’s highway infrastructure network.
The Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway remains one of the flagship transport projects intended to enhance inter-regional connectivity and support long-term economic growth.
@OfficialPDPNig Saboteurs ganging up against the Nigerian people, desperate to return to looting Nigeria dry. Your machinations will only boomerang on you and your families.
I love this ❤️
So many young Progressives are coming out of their shells to fight the status quo for the table; we are taking the tables for ourselves now

This is false. Misleading.
1: student loans repayment is determined by your salary. It is a flexible payment.
2: if you don’t have a job, no payment at all.
3: @NELFUND can also after two years of NYSC connect you to companies for employment.
4: stop creating chaos in the society.
This week at the Ministry of Interior.
Congratulations again to the Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo (@BTOofficial) as he bags the @vanguardngrnews personality of the year award.
With him, #RenewedHope is being felt in all the agencies under his ministry.
