Jaoji holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, and is a registered member of the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN).
He has more than three decades of experience in the power sector, having held technical and leadership roles at the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) and Geregu Power.
