A professor of computer engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife, Aina’s relationship with JAMB dates to his National Youth Service, when he first worked with the board.
Over 15 years since graduation, he has advised federal and state governments on system design, digital transitions and institutional reforms aimed at improving examination integrity and administrative efficiency.
At 39 he became one of the country’s youngest professors in his field; his appointment will make him JAMB’s youngest registrar.
