PURPOSE OF SIWES

CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION OF SIWES

   This programme is a skill training programmes which form part of approval in minimum academic stand in the various Degree/Diploma/Nce programme for all Nigerian tertiary institution.

   It is at exposing to machine, equipment professional work method and way of save guarding the work area and workers in industries and other organization the scheme Is a tripartite programme involving the tertiary institution and industries ( employees of labour) and the industrial training Fund ( ITF ) Relating this to statistics field the scheme is to develop the student knowledge in the various aspect of practical statistic SIWES also enable a student to have a broad knowledge of the important of statistics in our daily activities and how to apply them in the organization at large.

1.1 PURPOSE OF SIWES

    The purpose of student industrial work experience scheme (SIWES) Organized by the National Board of Technical Education (NBTE) is to aid developing the student knowledge through training in various industries or organization the purpose is to train the student on how to apply their theoretical knowledge from the higher institution to the industries where will be more practical aspect to their course of study.

   It is also to make student really available for employment after graduation, since they might obtain the practical experience of actual work during SIWES programme.

1.2 GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF THE SCHEME

1.                  To bring the gap between the higher education and actual practice

2.                  To provide base information which can be very useful in the life of student that undergone it now and near future.

3.                  To facilitate the transition from polytechnic to real world work through the experience gained and inter - personal contact establish had

4.                  To provide opportunity for student to apply their theoretical knowledge to practical or real work situation.

5.                  To provide an avenue for the Nigeria Tertiary Institution to acquire industrial skill and experience in their course of study.

1.3 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PLACE OF  SIWES

Climate in a narrow sense is usually defined as the average weather, or more rigorously, as the statistical description in terms of the mean and variability of relevant quantities over a period of time ranging from months to thousands or millions of years. The classical period for averaging these variables is 30 years, as defined by the World Meteorological Organization. The intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) developed the variation of the earth temperature for the past 140 years.

As climatic variability intensifies, changes in atmospheric conditions have altered water resources, their distribution in space and time, the hydrological cycle of water bodies, water quantity and, in more recent time, water supply systems and requirements for water resources in the Sokoto-Rima river basin, creating serious water shortages for household needs, agriculture and industry.

With further significant variations in the climate of the Sahel being predicted by General Circulation Models (GCMs) (IPCC, 2007), it is important that scientific studies be undertaken at regional levels so as to provide society with accurate information on the real and potential impacts of climate change, as well as, the mitigation and adaptation options available. (Ekpoh and Ekpenyong, 2011).

The Sokoto-Rima River basin is located at north western part of Nigeria and it covers four (4) states (i.e Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina and Zamfara) that have ninety two (92) local government areas for administrative purpose. This makes the rivers and streams within the basin to be the important source of surface water to the people living in those states. Therefore, even small decrease in runoff within the basin could have dramatic effects on the water supply of the region.

To address this need, this study evaluates the impact of climate change on available water resources in the six main rivers of the Sokoto-Rima river basin using a decision support system known as the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) Model. WEAP is an analytical framework developed for the evaluation of climate change and other drivers that water managers commonly confront (Yates et. al., 2006). Indeed, WEAP model is one of the useful tools for the integrated water resources management and it can be used as a database for the forecasting and also as a policy analysis tool, depending on the focus of the study. In this regard, the applicability of WEAP in assessing the impact of climate change as well as its main function of the sophisticated water allocation model is tested in this study.

2.0 INTRODUCTION TO PROCUREMENT PLANNING PRINCIPLES

Procurement planning is a process where MD, A, S review current existing procurement processes indentify future needs and direction for procurement management.

1.      Due to the financial condition of the country, the work site are been stagnant which lead back of preferred site visitation.

2.      Lack of transport money.

CHAPTER FOUR

CONCLUTION

I will like to appreciate the student training work experience scheme (S.I.W.E.S) for given me this opportunity to put this theory in practical aspect or experience at the end of my study. And I hope the institution of higher learning put more effort in supporting the industrial training program to every  angle, so that the student who are willing and able to come to this stage will be more expose in to practical work in the field of their profession.

            In fact, I am grateful to the Rima River Basin Development Authority Sokoto State especially Statistics Department, because they expose me to deferent part on the practical work on my field of study on industrial training attachment (I.T) to get a lot of site experience on various part of work.

            The (S.I.W.E.S) enable me to understand the various relationship and working into defenders in several of organization.   

RECOMANDATION

Having undergone this training and knowing the challenge, I will like to recommend the industrial training found to also organize workshop for student who are preparing to go for S.I.W.E.S training and also please that government should encourage student with the 10,000 naira promised to be paid to all student that went for the S.I.W.E.S training.
