“Born in 1949, the late Soba obtained his school leaving certificate in 1964. He proceeded to study and obtain additional qualifications both at home and outside Nigeria in various fields especially administration and legislative studies. 


“He later became the Clerk of the Kaduna State House of Assembly.
