Professor Aina succeeds the immediate past Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, under whose administration JAMB introduced major reforms, including the expansion of technology-driven processes in the conduct of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The new Registrar is expected to build on the Board’s ongoing reforms and strengthen its efforts to enhance transparency, efficiency, and public confidence in Nigeria’s tertiary admission process.
