He also used this avenue to encourage people to visit the seminary website, where they can download an entrance form in order to ease traveling to obtain the form at the seminary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EYN director of education, who was represented by his deputy Abba Yaya Chiroma, also advised the matriculated students to manage their time well. \u201cIf you need to achieve, you must understand that the distance between matriculation and graduation is short.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the seminary lecturers, Gulla Nghagyiya, in a goodwill message stated that \u201chard work pays\u2026. Be light bearers as you focus on your studies,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8212; Zakariya Musa is head of media for Ekklesiyar Yan\u2019uwa a Nigeria (EYN, the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"253\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/NewStudentsAtKTSDuringMatriculationCeremony-byZakariyaMusa-600px.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/NewStudentsAtKTSDuringMatriculationCeremony-byZakariyaMusa-600px.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/NewStudentsAtKTSDuringMatriculationCeremony-byZakariyaMusa-600px-300x127.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/NewStudentsAtKTSDuringMatriculationCeremony-byZakariyaMusa-600px-560x236.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption><em>New students take their oaths at the matriculation ceremony at Kulp Theological Seminary in Nigeria.
