 CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE SIWES IN NIGERIA
The SIWES being a skills acquisition programme blends theory with practice in the
industrial and commercial activities of our national economy. Also, Students Industrial Work
Experience Scheme (SIWES) is a cooperative industrial internship program that involves
institutions of higher learning, Industries, the Federal government of Nigeria, Industrial Training
Fund (ITF), Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC) and NBTE/NCCEE in Nigeria. The
scheme affords students the opportunity of familiarizing and exposing themselves to the needed
experience in handling equipment and machinery that are usually not available in their
institutions. The students industrial work experience scheme (SIWES) is a skills training
programme designed to expose and prepare students of Universities, Polytechnics/Colleges of
Technology/Colleges of Agriculture and Colleges of Education for the industrial work situation
they are likely to meet after graduation.
The major background behind the embankment of students in SIWES was to expose them
to the industrial environment and enable them develop occupational competencies so that they
can readily contribute their quota to national economic and technological development after
graduation. The major benefit accruing to students who participate conscientiously in Students
Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) are the skills and competencies they acquire. The
relevant production skills remain a part of the recipients of industrial training as life-long assets
which cannot be taken away from them. This is because the knowledge and skills acquired
through training are internalized and become relevant when required to perform jobs or
functions. The Government’s decree No. 47 of 8th October 1971 as amended in 1990 Highlighted
the capacity building of human resources in industry, commerce and government through
training and retraining of workers in order to effectively provide the much needed high quality
goods and services in a dynamic economy as ours. This decree led to the establishment of
Industrial Training Fund (ITF) in 1973/1974. The growing concern among our industrialists that
graduates of our institution of higher learning lack adequate practical background studies
preparatory for employment in industries led to the formation of Students Industrial Work
Experience Scheme (SIWES) by ITF in 1993/1994 ( Information and Guideline for SIWES,
2002). ITF has one of its key functions; to work as cooperative entity with industry and

6
commerce where students in institutions of higher learning can undertake mid-career work
experience attachment in industries which are compatible with the students’ area of study. The
students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is a skill training programme designed to
expose and prepare students of Agriculture, Engineering, Environmental Science, Medical
Sciences, Pure and Applied Sciences for the industrial work situation which they are likely to
meet after graduation. Duration of SIWES is four (4) months in Polytechnics at the end of NDI,
four (4) months in College Of Education at the end of NCE II and six (6) months in the
universities at the end of 300, 400 or 500 levels depending on the discipline.
However, the prevalence of the inability of participants of SIWES to secure employment
after the programme casts doubt on the continuing relevance of SIWES to the contemporary
industrial development drive in Nigeria. The purpose of the Industrial Training is to provide
exposure for the students on practical aspect. Through this exposure, students will have better
understanding of the course content in general and sense of frequent and possible problems. This
training is part of the learning process. So, the exposure that uplifts the knowledge and
experience of a student needs to be properly documented in the form of a report. Through this
report, the experience gain can be delivered to their peers. A properly prepared report can
facilitate the presentation of the practical experience in an orderly, precise and interesting
manner.
1.1 OBJECTIVE OF SIWES
The main objective of the creation of SIWES are:
 To provide an avenue for students in the Nigerian universities, polytechnics and colleges
of education to acquire industrial skill and experience in their course of study.
 To expose student of any discipline of study to learn and experience the knowledge,
which they required in industry where these are not taught in the lecture room.
 To apply the knowledge taught in the lecture rooms in real industrial situation.
 To use the experience gained from the industrial training in discussion held in the lecture
rooms.
 To get a feel of the work environment.
 To gain experience in writing report in any discipline of study works/project.
 To expose students to any field of study of its responsibilities and ethics.

7
  To expose students to employers as well as to introduce them to Industrial Working
Environment
1.2 FUNCTION OF SIWES
 Seeking of industrial placement for undergraduate students enrolled in disciplines
scheduled for participation in SIWES.
 Supervision of the students undergoing their Industrial training in the various place of IT
 Processing of students’ logbooks, ITF forms and industrial attachment reports upon
which is based on the Federal Government funding of supervision and students’
allowances
 Fostering of close links between the university and industries participating in SIWES
programme
 Provision of advisory guidance to participating students on career employment
opportunities.
 Monitoring of compliance with the requirements of SIWES on the part of students in
eligible disciplines as a condition for graduation.
 Facilitation of the disbursement of the students’ allowance to deserving students through
e-payment
1.3 THE MANAGEMENT OF SIWES IN NIGERIA
The bodies involved are: The Federal Government, Industrial Training Fund (ITF). Other
supervising agents are: National University Commission (NUC), National Board for Technical
Education (NBTE) and National Council for Colleges of Education (NCE). The functions of
these agencies above include among others to:
i. Ensure adequate funding of the scheme
ii. Establish SIWES and accredit SIWWES unit in the approved institutions
iii. Formulate policies and guideline for participating bodies and institutions as well as
appointing SIWES coordinators and supporting staff
iv. Supervise students at their places of attachment and sign their lob-book and IT forms;
v. Vet and process student’s log-book and forward same to ITF Area office;
vi. Ensure payment of allowances for the students and supervisors. Therefore the success
or otherwise of the SIWES depends on the efficiency of the Ministries ,ITF,
Institutions, Employers of labour and the general public involved in articulation and

8
 management of the program. Thus the evaluation of SIWES in tertiary institutions in
meeting up with the needs for the establishment of the program is necessary
1.4 IMPORTANCE AND BENEFITS OF SIWES.
 It affords students the opportunity to interact with large number of people in industrial
setup.
 It helps to develop the intellectual skills of the students as they are often allowed to take
decisions and provide appropriate solutions to problems they encounter.
 It prepares students for the labour market after graduation.

 CHAPTER TWO
2.0 PRACTCAL WORKS EXECUTED BY THE ORGANIZATION (DURING MY
TRAINING PROGRAMME) AS A SIWES STUDENT
The four month of training in UNIOSUN PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY, OSOGBO,
OSUN STATE area was been an opportunity which enable me to have a broad knowledge skill
due to the various forms of activities that were being performed as a SIWES student, where the
organization engage in following activities:
2.1 COMPOUND VESSEL
This is also known as mixingtanic as used for proper mixing of drug i.e. the raw materials for
drugs production

PARTS
Filtration Transfer Pump: This is a machine used for filtration of suspended particles out of
compounding mixture
Water Heater Vessel: This is a heat transfer process that uses an energy source to heat water
above its initial temperature

Colloid Milling Machine: Is a machine that is used to reduce the particle size of a solid in
suspension in a liquid or to reduce the droplet size in emulsion.

11
Bottle Rising Machine: Is a machine that use for rising bottles
Autoclave: Is the equipment that is used for sterilization of material used for analysis
Incubator: Is the equipment that is used to create a conductive environment for the frowth
micro-organisms at a certain temperature (oC) and time , so the environment condition can be
controlled as selected by the operator.

2.2 INTRODUCTION TO METHYLATED SPIRIT

Aim: To identify methylated spirit
Theory: Methylated spirit is an alcohol for general use that has been unfit for drinking by the
addition of about 10 percent methanol and typically also some pyridine. Methylated spirit is used
in killing germs and clean skin surface in cases of wounds to prevent it from getting infected. It
is used to clean cuts, sores etc. it can be used to sterilized objects which require high level of
purity
FORMATION: for 30 liter of ethanol
Ingredient: Proportion
Water: 800ml
Methal: 2000ml
PROCEDURE: 800ml of water was measured into a bowl, it was sir lightly while adding I.P>A
to it. It was immediately packed and labeled.
CONCLUSSION: Always cover and tighten the cap of the container to avoid drying up of the
spirit.

2.3 PRODUCTION OF METHYLATED SPIRIT

Materials: Ethanol, Methanol, water
Procedure: 28.5 litres of ethanol were measured into a plastic container. 1.5 litres of methanol
was added to ethanol and the solution was mixed together
PACKAGING
UTH methylated spirit was dispensed in 200ml and 2 litres and well labeled a bottle with cap
(safety sealed) PQI whed and inserted in a unit pack.
IMPORTANCE OF UTH METHYLATED SPIRIT
 It is used as disinfectant

12
  It is used as fuel additives
 It is used as wound cleaner
 It is used as an effective solvent in paints industries
 It is used to sterilize medical equipments
SIDE EFFETS
 Severe exposure to ethanol can cause a cold clammy skin
 Eye contact can cause seriuous eye irritation
 It can cause dizziness and coma
2.3.1 EXPERIMENT ON HOW TO DETECT EXCESS CHLORINE IN WATER
 Hazy or cloudy water,
 discoloured typically yellow or brown,
 the smell of chlorine,
 dull hair
 Soap residue
Titration with sodium trisulphate is used for measuring the total chlorine in tap water.

2.3.2 REMOVAL OF EXCESS CHLORINE IN WATER

Distillation: Where water is boiled and decondensed is another way to remove chlorine in water
but slow output, cost and tight energy consumption make method and a less popular method.
Reverse Osmosis Filtration Method: This is a cost effective method to provide plenty of
chlorine free drinking water for household.
Deionization Method: The process of deionization in a purified water system removes all the
charge ions in the water naking it safe to mix medications and dramatically reducing the chance
of this the type of tragedy.

2.4 HOW TO USE WEIGHING BALANCE IN A PRODUCTION FACTORY

Keep the Balace Calibrates: First and format the analytical balance calibrated at all times
Ensure Appropriate Environment: Use the built in spirit level to check the horizontal positioning
of the balance. Keep the balance in avibrarion free environment

13
Take The Right Measures To Weight The Sample: Use a clean spatula to appropriate size
while placing the sample weigh the sample quality in a volumetric flask rather than opting for
butter paper weighing. The lather can introduce errors.

2.5 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GENETIC NAME AND BRANDNAME

Genetic Name: This has several meaning as regards drugs which chemical name of a drug. A
term referring to the chemical makeep chemical name of adrug rather than the advertize brand
name under which is sold.

 CHAPTER FOUR
4.0 PURIFICATION OF INDUSTRIAL WATER\
Distilled on purification of water i.e. water treatment. Distilled water is the most used
ingredients in pharmaceutical industries being directly as expedient, or used for the
reconstruction of products, during synthesis for drug production process and indirectly for line
clearance, cleaning agent for rising manufacturing vessel as used as equipment and primary
packaging materials for these reasons the pharmaceutical water treatment are of the most
important and critical part of a pharmaceutical facility. Also water is essential in industry, it is
heated and the steam is used to run machinery. It is also an important element in many products
like chemicals, drugs, shampoos, cosmetic, cleanness and also beverages. Water is a universal
due to the following properties. It is a polar molecules, it can form hydrogen bond with ether
polar compounds, it dissolves any substances by reacting with them chemically, it is cheap and
easily available . since water is a major determinant in the production of pharmaceutical drugs,
hence a need for its treatment and chameization for appropriate use in ebery section of the
industry, water must be properly treated to avoid microbial proliferat ion and to ensure the
absence of agents
4.1 WATER TREATMENT
CHLORINATION: THE BASISI OF ALL SYRUP PRODUCTION IN
PHARMACEUTICAL company is water and must be reflected and make sterile by treatment.
The water from the bore hole sources is first channel directly into the 2000 litres raw storeage
tank where it is bring down with corresponding 8g of calcium hypochlante intact as water
soaptrer and also prevent water against microbes, when calcium hypochlannte dissolve inb water
it release thechlorine needed for chlorination.
SAND FILTRATION: After chlorination process the water is channel through the sand filter
bed for filtration. The sand filter is a long stainless steel cylinder for carbon filtration.
DEIONAZATION: the filtered water from the sand and carbon filter to channeled through the
anode and cathode deionizers . the anode and cathode deionizer contains regins which is used to
remove dissolved negatively and positive ions respectively
Ultra Violet Sterelizations: UV water purification uses ultraviolet radiation to disinfect the
water from the micro filters.

18
4.3. QUALITY CONTROL OF WATER IN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY
Quality control is essential and needed in the drug development program and all production
process to ensure that the drug substances and either raw materials are separatable for use in
ndrug product and to ensure that the drug manufactured meets the highest quality standard
required. The department deals with revieving products inspecting and testing bof products to
uncover defects and also report to the quality control manager whomake the decision wether vto
allow or order the product release to the society. The department involves in the actiovities of the
microbiology laboratory and the physiochemical laboratory, equipments and all materials like the
pipette, burrettes, conical flask, beakers, pH meter, ollen, stop wacth, , fume, cupboard,
spectrometer, viscometer, appropriate reagent, etc, use in the industry.

 CHAPTER FIVE
5.1 CONCLUSION
Based on the learning activities at place of SIWES programme, it can be concluded that
the SIWES programme is a programme that every students should be involved to gain a practical
knowledge. I was gained much practical knowledge on Science Laboratory Technology as well
as Administrative field and when compared with what I was taught from school, it shows clearly
the meaning of Science Laboratory Technology studies to me.

5.2 RECOMMENDATION
The programme make student have a piratical experience of what they have leant in school
of studies. I commend the effort of the Federal Government as well as Federal Polytechnic, Ede
authority on set up this programme through the ITF. I will also like to enlighten the government
to extend this programme to six month if possible in other to make student gain more experience.
Also, allowances should be paid to students during the programme just like NYSC programme,
this would help them a great deal to handle their financial problems during their training course.

5.3 CHALLENGES ENCOUNTED DURING PERIOD OF TRAINING

Problem of securing a place of attachment: I had most of problem searching for a place of
attachment for my Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme programme (SIWES) because
most establishments refused my placement request.
Inadequate Facilities: The establishment did not provide any accommodation for the SIWES
students.
No Payment of Salary/Allowance: The establishment does not pay their allowance/ salary to
SIWES therefore, I find it very difficult to cope with transportation, at times there will be no
money for transportation, by so doing the person have to walk on feet, and these brings lateness
to duty.
