President Bola Tinubu has removed Professor Segun Ajiboye as Chief Executive/Registrar of the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN).

Ajiboye was re-appointed in 2021 by former President Muhammadu Buhari for a five-year term.

His tenure was scheduled to end in September 2026.

But Tinubu has now appointed Mrs Ronke Soyombo as the new Registrar and Chief Executive of the Teachers’ Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN).

Soyombo, who served as the Senior Special Adviser on Education, Science and Technology to Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, will now lead the federal agency responsible for regulating the teaching profession in Nigeria.

Her appointment was made official last week during a ceremony in Abuja, where the Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, presented her with the letter.

With more than three decades of experience in the education sector, Soyombo has worked in both Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
