The announcement was made Thursday by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga. Aina, who turns 40 in July, will take over from Professor Is-haq Oloyede, whose two-term tenure ends July 31, 2026.
Aina is currently a Professor of Computer Engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife. He holds a BEng in Computer Systems Engineering from the University of Kent, UK, an MSc in Internet Computing and Network Security, and a PhD in Digital Signal Processing from Loughborough University. He also completed the Senior Management Programme at Lagos Business School.
According to the Presidency, Aina has “extensive experience in national examination systems, digital infrastructure, and public-sector institutional reform.” He began his career with JAMB during his National Youth Service, giving him “foundational experience in national admissions and data-driven institutional processes.”
He is a member of COREN, the Nigerian Society of Engineers, IEEE, and the Institution of Engineering and Technology, IET.
President Tinubu expects Aina to “take the critical educational organisation beyond the laudable heights achieved by his predecessor” and bring “vast experience, knowledge and practical insight” to JAMB operations.
