The appointment was confirmed in a statement issued on Thursday by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
According to the statement, Aina is a Professor of Computer Engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, with expertise in digital infrastructure, examination systems and institutional reform.
The statement noted that he is a distinguished academic with strong experience in public-sector digital transformation and systems design.
“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,” the statement read.
It added that Aina holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Systems Engineering from the University of Kent, a Master’s 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 the Lagos Business School.
The Presidency said Aina has over 15 years of professional experience advising government institutions on digital transition and examination integrity systems, including NECO and NABTEB.
“He is also a member of professional organisations, including the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria, the Nigerian Society of Engineers, IEEE and the Institution of Engineering and Technology,” the statement added.
Tinubu expressed confidence that the new registrar would build on the achievements of the outgoing leadership and further strengthen JAMB’s operations.
