The newly appointed Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, Professor Segun Aina, has pledged to protect the integrity of the examination body while improving service delivery for candidates and other stakeholders.
Aina made the commitment on Friday during a formal handover ceremony at JAMB’s National Headquarters in Bwari, Abuja, where he took over from Professor Is-haq Oloyede.
The new registrar described integrity as the foundation of a credible institution, stressing that technological advancement and operational efficiency would have little value without trust and transparency.
He warned examination malpractice syndicates, impersonators, certificate forgers, cybercriminals and corrupt officials that the Board would strengthen efforts to identify and prosecute those attempting to undermine the credibility of examinations and admissions.
Aina said JAMB would deploy technology, intelligence gathering and stronger institutional oversight while deepening collaboration with security agencies and other stakeholders to tackle emerging forms of examination fraud.
He noted that admission obtained through dishonest means denies qualified candidates legitimate opportunities and pledged that the Board would continue to promote fairness and merit.
Beyond tackling examination malpractice, Aina promised to simplify procedures, improve communication channels and deploy technology to make JAMB services more efficient and accessible.
He said the reforms would help reduce the anxiety candidates and parents often experience during examination registration, admissions and other interactions with the Board.
Aina also pledged to work closely with the Federal Ministry of Education in implementing reforms aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s education sector.
He thanked President Bola Tinubu for appointing him and acknowledged the contributions of previous JAMB registrars, particularly his immediate predecessor, Professor Is-haq Oloyede.
The new registrar described his appointment as a full-circle moment, recalling that he had served at JAMB as a National Youth Service Corps member nearly two decades ago.
He pledged to build on the achievements of previous administrations and position JAMB to respond effectively to changes in Nigeria’s educational landscape.
