About The College
ASD College of Science and Islamic Studies, Soba, is built by the Great
Shield of Zazzau Emirate, Mai Girma Garkuwan Zazzau Babba, Alhaji (Dr.)
Sani Dauda, and is endowed (waqf) by him for the benefit of the local,
national and global Muslim Ummah and by extension, all humanity. The
college is currently located at No 6, Television Street, Soba, Soba Local
Government, Kaduna State, Nigeria. To ensure smooth operation of the
college, Alhaji (Dr.) Sani Dauda handed over the mandate of the institution to
the ASD JUMU’AH MOSQUE, Soba, which is under the leadership of
Markazu Rijaal as-Sunnah li-Nashri Ta’aaleem al-Millah Soba (Center for the
Propagation of Islamic Thoughts Soba). Therefore, the College is currently
under the directorship of the Chief Imam, ASD Jumu’ah Mosque and the
Provost, Center for the Propagation of Islamic Thoughts Soba, Sheikh
Ibrahim Haruna Soba.
The institution was formally named Sani Dauda Tarbiyyatul Islamiyya
School Soba. The school was established since around 1999/2000 with the
sole purpose of enhancing Islamic knowledge only. Harnessing the
importance of merging both Islamic and conventional education, Garkuwan
Zazzau Babba is committed to establishing a conventional and Islamic
institution rich in Islamic values. This was eventually to become ASD
College of Science and Islamic Studies - Soba.
The college consists of three major sessions: Conventional, Islamiyyah and
Qur’anic Memorization (Tahfeez). Each session is headed by a head teacher.
Meanwhile, both the Islamic and conventional education are categorized into
three sections; kindergarten/nursery, primary and secondary
