The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, has lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for selecting Prof. Segun Aina as the new Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, describing the move as evidence of the president’s dedication to involving skilled young Nigerians in government.
In a statement issued on Saturday through his Press Secretary, Alli Ibraheem, the monarch emphasized that the appointment reflects Tinubu’s strategy to seek out and empower promising individuals. According to Oba Akanbi, Prof. Aina’s impressive credentials and exemplary career path make him an ideal choice for the role.
