Joining the Army, he was commissioned as second lieutenant in 1976, full lieutenant in 1980, captain in 1985 and major in 1990. Bawa was appointed the Administrator of Ekiti State after it was formed in October 1996 from part of Ondo State.

As administrator of Gombe State, he initiated joint border patrols with neighboring Chad and Niger to reduce cross border banditry.

May His gentle soul rest in Jannaatul Firdaus.
