Nigeria's education sector is currently a hub of significant activity and potential disruption. ASUU zones are threatening industrial action due to the Federal Government's partial implementation of the 2025 FGN/ASUU agreement, citing unpaid allowances and policy criticisms. Concurrently, President Bola Tinubu has appointed Professor Segun Aina as the new Registrar of JAMB, effective July 31, 2026. JAMB is also processing changes for 2026 UTME candidates and experiencing delays in releasing original result slips. Furthermore, many institutions have opened 2026/2027 admission applications, and the Taraba NUT has rejected JAMB's waiver for colleges of education admissions, raising concerns about teaching standards.
