The new registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Segun Aina, has unveiled a five-year development agenda aimed at improving the board’s efficiency through 2031.

The 40-year-old professor of computer engineering assumed office on Monday, succeeding Ishaq Oloyede.

Aina’s plan, titled “JAMB 2031: Building Trust, Reducing Trauma,” is designed to consolidate past achievements while positioning the board as Africa’s most trusted and accessible assessment institution.

He said the agenda would build on the foundation laid by his predecessor through innovation and stronger systems.

The reform is structured around what he called “Project 2:5:7,” which includes two strategic objectives, five pillars, and seven flagship initiatives.

The five pillars are integrity, service, governance, technology, and partnership.

Key initiatives under the plan include an independent technology review of JAMB’s infrastructure, attainment of ISO 27001 information security certification, and the development of a unified mobile app.

Others are a unified customer service platform, a paperless digital administration system, and improved staff welfare.

Aina stressed that while technology would drive the transformation, people remain the board’s greatest asset. He reaffirmed his commitment to building stronger systems that will deepen public trust and position JAMB as a global benchmark in technology-driven examinations and admissions.
