Major General Paul C. Tarfa is a Nigerian military officer who was appointed Governor of Oyo State, during the military regime of General Olusegun Obasanjo, handing over to the elected civilian governor Bola Ige.[1]
He was appointed commandant of the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna.[2]
Under the military rule of General Murtala Mohammed (July 1975 – February 1976), Lieutenant-Colonel Tarfa became Provost Marshall General and was responsible, reporting to General Theophilus Danjuma, for the clean-up campaign in the four divisions of the army. He was then given the almost impossible task of reducing traffic congestion in Lagos.[3]
He was appointed Governor of Oyo State from July 1978 to October 1979.[1]
When Ernest Shonekan came to power in November 1993, the Federal Government set up the Major-General Paul Tarfa Panel to undertake a one-year probe of the activities of the Nigeria Customs Service.[4]
