Colonel (retired) Aina Joseph Owoniyi was Administrator of Taraba State, Nigeria from August 1998 to May 1999 during the transitional regime of General Abdulsalami Abubakar.[1]
Owoniyi's administration was notable for lack of corruption.[2] He approved salary increases for Taraba State Civil Servants.[3] In November 1998 Owoniyi suspended indefinitely the Commissioner of Agriculture Daniel Nyaa Bobzom and his Education counterpart Joseph Rishante for insubordination, negligence of duty and sabotage.[4] After handing over to the civilian governor Jolly Nyame in May 1999, as a former military administrator he was required to retire from the army.[5]
