ABUJA, Nigeria — Professor Is-haq Oloyede on Friday handed over to Professor Segun Aina as the new Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, ending a 10-year tenure at the agency.

Aina is a Professor of Computer Engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife. He has expertise in digital infrastructure, national examination systems and institutional reforms.

He holds a Bachelor of Engineering 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 in the United Kingdom.
