In his acceptance speech, after receiving handover notes from Prof Oloyede, the new JAMB Registrar, Prof Aina, said he never imagined that he would be JAMB Registrar after visiting the Board over 20 years ago, but will do his best to improve on structures he met on ground.
He said the credibility of an institution must not rest on one individual, but on values, saying the integrity of JAMB must be protected.
