INTRODUCTION

STUDENTS` INDUSTRIALWORK EXPERIENCE SCHEME

SIWES is the acronym for Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme. It is a skill

development programme that is designed to prepare students of higher institutions of

learning like Universities, Polytechnics, Monotechnics and Colleges of Education for

transition from college environment to the world of work.

• The goal of SIWES is to promote industrialization in Nigeria and an avenue

between the world of learning, industry and work with reference to a field of

study such as engineering, science, agriculture, technology and other

professional education programs. It is also to expose and prepare students in

institutions of higher learning for the industrial work situations which they are

to meet after graduation. The scheme equally helps to familiarize students with

work methods and expose them to the necessary experience to hand equipment

and machinery that are not available in their institutions.

AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF SIWES

• The student industrial work experience scheme (SIWES), provides an avenue to

acquire skills and experience in their approved course of study.

• The objectives of the students’industrial work experience scheme are:

• To expose students to work methods and techniques in handling equipment and

machinery that may not be available in the university

• To prepare students for the work situation they are likely to meet after

graduation

• Provision of avenue for students in Nigerian universities to gain industrial skills

and experiences in their course of study

• To provide students the opportunity to develop attitudes conducive to effective

interpersonal relationships.

• To increase a student's sense of responsibility.

• To assist students to prepare for the transition into full-time employment in their

area of specialization upon graduation.

• To help students acquire good work habits.

• To help students develop employment records/references that will enhance

employment opportunities.

• To provide students the opportunity to understand informal organizational

interrelationships.

• To reduce student dropouts.

 • To enable Students to be able to outline at least five specific goals with several

staff members by comparing performance with job duties and develop a draft

plan with staff to accomplish performance needs, supervision plan and rewards.

• To help Students in being able to develop a draft agency or project budget and

will be able to identify methods of obtaining revenue to support the budget.

ORGANIZATION CHART
 CHAPTER TWO

2.0 SECTIONALACTIVITIES AND WORK DONE

During my Students Industrial Work attachment at the ministry I was able

to learn the following.

2.1 LAND ACQUISITION

Land acquisition is the power of the union or a state government in Nigeria to

acquire private land for the purpose of industrialization, development of

infrastructural facilities or urbanization of the private land, and to compensate the

affected land owner for their rehabilitation and resettlement.

Procedures in Land Acquisition.

i. Site inspection and selection

ii. Experimental survey

iii. Acquisition notice and serving of notice

iv. Enumeration exercise

v. Valuation of property,

vi. Determination of compensation payable

vii. Signing of the certificate of indemnity.

viii. Payment of compensation.

2.2 LAND REGULARIZATION (ALSO KNOWN AS RATIFICATION)

Is carried out when an individual or corporate entity acquires land that belongs to the

government. However not all government lands can be regularize. Any land that will

be regularized must not fall within a government committed area and it must confirm

to the state’s urban planning regulation.

Regularization entails buying the land from the government. It is an expensive process

because after buying the land from the seller, the buyer still have to pay the

government for the land again.

After regularization, the government releases the land and issues a certificate of

occupancy (C of O) to the applicant.

Procedures of Land Regularization.

i. Applicant is expected to apply with a written letter for request

ii. Obtain the form and collect receipt of payment.

iii. Recommendation for regularization

iv. Recommendation is sent to the secretary of the S.A. for approval

v. Certificate of Occupancy.

2.3 DEED OFASSIGNMENT

A Deed of Assignment is an important legal land document that records a sale of land

and transfers interest and title in real property from one party to another starting from

the commencement date stipulated in the document. It is a document usually

demanded by the buyer of the real property at the conclusion of a property transaction
and for it to be valid and binding on parties to the transaction; it must contain certain

information. A deed of assignment is considered a must for the transaction of

ownership in land.

The main purpose of a deed of assignment is to transfer an interest or assign the title of

property from the seller (an assignor) to a new buyer called (the Assignee). For a deed

of assignment to fit the above purpose, it must contain certain details or particulars that

will be briefly discussed below:

Particulars of the parties to the transaction (names, address, status).

Date of transfer of ownership of the property from the vendor to the purchaser.

Nature of assignor's (vendors) title.

The full description/particulars of the property with fittings & fixtures where

applicable.

History of the property being transferred from the first time it was acquired to the

current time of sale, including documents it previously had to date.

Details of a verifiable document that the property possesses.

The consideration paid in respect of the property transaction (purchase price) and the

willingness of the vendor to accept the price paid for the property.

The nature of the transaction and the capacity of the assignor (vendor).

Covenants both parties to the transaction undertake to fulfil.

Signature of the parties and that of the witnesses to the transaction.

Survey plan.

Details of the Legal practitioner who prepared the deed.

Section for the Governor's consent to be signed and verified.

Importance of Deed of Assignment

It is important that a deed of assignment is drafted by a property lawyer, to ensure that

the best interests of the parties to the transaction are duly represented. The deed of

assignment is usually drafted by the assignee's legal practitioner and given to the

assignor (vendor) for vetting and execution. Where the property falls within an estate,

the assignor's legal practitioner may prepare the deed for the assignee's lawyer to

review.

Another great importance of a deed of assignment is that it serves as a valid root of

title to the land. It acts as valid evidence of transfer, especially where there is a

contention as to the validity of the land or where a third party tries to claim ownership

of the same land.

It is also important that when the deed of assignment has been exchanged between the

parties to the transaction, it is recorded or registered with the appropriate land registry

where the land is situated for perfection purposes. Perfection comes at the post-

completion stage which involves obtaining the governor's consent, stamping of the

deed of assignment, and finally, registration of the document to show legal proof that

the property has exchanged hands and also to create public awareness that the property

belongs to a new owner.

2.4 CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY

A certificate of occupancy is a document issued by a local government agency or

building department certifying a building's compliance with applicable building codes

and other laws, and indicating it to be in a condition suitable for occupancy.

The purpose of obtaining a certificate of occupancy is to prove that, according to the

law, the house or building is in liveable condition. Generally, such a certificate is

necessary to be able to occupy the structure for everyday use, as well as to be able to

sign a contract to sell the space and close on a mortgage for the space.

A certificate of occupancy is evidence that the building complies substantially with the

plans and specifications that have been submitted to, and approved by, the local

authority. It complements a building permit—a document that must be filed by the

applicant with the local authority before construction to indicate that the proposed

construction will adhere to ordinances, codes, and laws.

REQUIREMENTS OF OBTAINING CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY

i. Obtaining of form

ii. Submission of other documents.

iii. Presentation of tax clearance

iv. Two passports

v. Sword affidavit

vi. Two survey plans approved by surveyor general.

2.5 VALUATION

Valuation is the art and science of estimating the monetary worth of an interest that

exist in a property or an analytical process of determining the current worth of an

asset or a company.

Procedure for valuation

i. Measurements

ii. Taking the details of the property to determine the stage of the development

iii. Calculation

iv. Opinion of value

2.6 PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Property management is the art and science of controlling and supervising of

various government properties.

Function of AProperty Manager.

i. Maintenance: Property managers will perform routine and preventive

maintenance for the owner to make sure the property remains in great

condition. Managers will perform maintenance tasks personally, via onsite

management, or hire a vendor to perform the job. Maintenance can include

landscape duties, HVAC servicing, exterior cleaning, animal proofing,

gutter cleaning, etc.

ii. Repairs: Should the property require any home repairs, a manager will

communicate the issue with the owner and schedule repairs pending
 approval. Common property management repairs include plumbing and

HVAC system repairs, broken railings, common area light bulb

replacement, etc. Repairs can be noticed by management during an

inspection or brought to the manager’s attention by a tenant.

iii. Inspections: A property manager will conduct regular inspections of the

rental unit in order to identify any maintenance issues that need to be fixed

before they become expensive repairs and to ensure compliance with tenant

required maintenance. Rental property inspections may include

move-in/move-out inspections, seasonal inspections, and drive-by

inspections.

iv. Turn-Over: Tenant turnover involves getting a property restored to rent-

ready condition in between lease terms, collecting keys and leased property,

and refunding the past tenant’s security deposit. A property manager will

enforce move-out dates, and charge a tenant accordingly if he has not

vacated the unit on the agreed-upon date and time. The vacated unit has to

be inspected, cleaned and restored back to the condition it was at the start of

the prior lease term. If the property owner wants to make additional

improvements to the unit during the time, the manager can help coordinate

and oversee the property maintenance.

4.7 SUMMARY, RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION

4.8 SUMMARY

The SIWES has provided a training ground where skill relating to how information

can be processed, manage, preserved, retrieved and documented. This has gone a long

way in equipping one in merging what has been learned in the lecture room to what

was actually learnt on the field.

4.9 RECOMMENDATION

Cooperation between Educators and Practitioners is mandatory for proper supervision

of SWIES participant. In addition the two must collaborate in curriculum development

and revision to ensure a curriculum that satisfied job markets.

ICT’s development have put more pressure on the SIWES program to help students to

develop new skills, students should be aware of what the society holds for them and

adapt accordingly.

Government and Employers of labour should encourage student on SIWES by paying

sustenance allowance to them.

Finally, lecturers from the polytechnic should pay a schedule visits to the industrial to

supervise the Students Work

5.0 CONCLUSION

The Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is a skill training program
designed to exposed and prepare students in the Institution of Higher Learning for the

industrial work situation they are likely to meet after graduation.

However, the situation described above represent the idea, but sometimes these are

achieved, as there are many problems militating against the success or it attainment.

One major problem is that sometimes, we student do not get placement for the four

months of attachment the situation become so hard that some student got to work

without payment, just to gain the experience.

Invariably, job may be done half-heartedly because lack of financial support, even for

such basic needs as the transportation to and fro for the work. In some cases, students

are placed in job places and environment not related to their training, just to satisfy the

compulsory for the scheme.
