CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The student industrial work experience scheme [SIWES] was established under
military government by decree NO .47 of 1973 to solve the problem of lack of adequate
practical skills preparatory for employment in industry by Nigeria graduates tertiary
institution. It commenced in 1974then only about eleven [11] institutions started it with a
total of seven hundred and fifty eight [758] student by 1978, the number of institution
was thirty two [32] with about five thousand [5000] student from course in engineering
and technology. By 1979, the fe3deral ministry of education make SIWES compulsory
for all polytechnic and college of education discipline which brought about the one year
industrial training [IT] ,it become a condition for admission into HIGH NATIONAL
DIPLOMA [HND] programs. Due to financial constraint, ITF withdraw support for
SIWES in polytechnic and college of education By January 1980, it withdraw totally ,
leaving it to Nigerian universities commission [NUC] for universities national board for
technical education [NBTE] for polytechnic .about fifty (50) non-technical disciplines
were included.

The federal government, through Decree No.16 of 1985 enforced that all students
for specialized courses in Engineering, technology, business, Apply Science and Apply
arts must undergo SIWES. Between 1985 and 1995, the number of student grew to fifty
seven thousand, four hundred and thirty three (57.433) student and one hundred and forty
one (141) institutions .The college of education had been included .between 1995 and
2003, one hundred and seventy six (176) institution were involved and by 2008, two
hundred and four (204) institution with two hundred and ten thousand,three hundred and
ninety (390) student were involved.

The scheme exposes student to industry based skills necessary for a smooth
transition from the world of classrooms to the world of work. It affords student of tertiary
institutions the opportunity of being familiarized and equipment’s which are usually not
available in educational institution. Participations in the SIWES has become a necessary
pre-condition for the award of Diploma and Degree certificates in specific disciplines in

6
most institutions of higher learning in the country, in accordance with the education
policy of government.

1.2 AIMS OF SIWES

1. To provide student with industrial skill and needed experience whilethe course of
study.
2. To prepare specialist who will be ready for any working situation immediately after
graduate.
3. To teach student the techniques and method of working with facilities and equipment
that may not be available within the walls of an educational institution.
4. SIWES helps and assist engineering student to works independently and to imbibes
strong leadership skills.
5. SIWES helps and assist student to perform designated duties effectively with
supervision.
6. SIWES student will develop employment record/reference that will enhance
employment opportunity.
7. SIWES will provide avenues to student in institution of higher learning to acquire
industrial skills and experience in their course of study.

1.3 THE OBJECTIVES OF SIWES

1. To provide an avenue for student in institutions of higher learning to acquire

industrial skills and experience in their coursesof studies of study.
2. To prepare students for the working situation they are to meet after graduation.
3. To expose students to work method and technique in handling equipment and
machinery that may not be available in educational institutions.
4. To make the transition from school to world of work easier and to enhance student
contact for later job placement.
5. To provide the student with the opportunity to apply his knowledge in real situation
theory thereby bringing the gap between school work and practical work.
6. To enlist and strengthen employer’s involvement in the entire educational process of
preparing students for employment in industry.
7. To satisfy accreditation requirements set by NBTE.

7
8. To provide students an opportunity to see the real word of their discipline and
consequently bridge the gap between the classroom and real work situation.
9. To provide access to equipment and other facilities thatwould not normally be
available in the polytechnic laboratory.

1.4 THE IMPORTANCE OF SIWES

The scheme covers all science and technological based students in polytechnics
and universities in Nigeria, resulting in a high population of student which is easily
managed because of the public and private industries that partake in the scheme. SIWES
enable students acquire industrial know-how in their field of study particularly in
technological based courses. It also enables student experience the application of
theoretical knowledge in solving real life problems.

3.0 WHAT IS MALARIA

A disease caused by a plasmodium parasite, transmitted by the bite of infected
mosquitoes. It is preventable and curable.Symptoms are chills, fever and sweating,
usually occurring a few weeks after being bitten.

3.1 WHAT IS PARASITE

An organism that lives in or on another organism of another species (its host) and
benefits by deriving nutrients in it.

3.2 WHAT IS MALARIA PARASITE

Malaria parasites are micro-organisms parasites that belong to the genus
Plasmodium. Which can infect many animal species such as reptiles, birds, and various
mammals?

A malaria parasite is a mosquito-borne parasitic infection spread by Anopheles

mosquitoes. The Plasmodium parasite that causes malaria is neither a virus nor a bacteria,
it is a single-celled parasite that multiplies in red blood cells of humans as well as in the
mosquito intestine.

Dr. Alphonse Laveran, a military doctor in France's Service de Santé des Armées
(Health Service of the Armed Forces). The military hospital where Laveran discovered
the malaria parasite in 1880. He discovered that in the life cycle of malaria
parasites which usually occurs in the stomach of the Anopheles mosquito, and it usually
found in red blood cell of a Patients Suffering from Marsh Fever.

10
 3.3 FIVE TYPES OF MALARIA PARASITES?

Five species of Plasmodium (single-celled parasites) can infect humans and cause
illness:

i. Plasmodium falciparum
ii. Plasmodium vivax
iii. Plasmodium malariae
iv. Plasmodium ovale

Plasmodium vivax or P. falciparum are the most common malarial parasites, while

P. malariae and P. ovale are other rarer forms.

3.4 SIGN AND SYMPTOMS OF MALARIA

i. Headache
ii. Weakness of the body
iii. Joint pain
iv. Fever
v. Loss of appetite
vi. Vomiting

3.5 METHOD OF TRANSMITTING.

Malaria is transmitted by blood, so it can also be transmitted through:

i. An organ transplant.
ii. A transfusion.
iii. Use of shared needles or syringes.

11
3.6 HOW TO CARRY OUT MALARIA

Apparatus:

i. lancet
ii. Pipette
iii. buffer solution
iv. slide
v. blood sample
vi. M.P kit (malaria parasite kit)
vii. Alcohol
viii. Cotton wool

Procedure:

i. The thumb of a patient was cleaned or sterilized with swab.

ii. The thumb was prick with use of sterilized lancet.
iii. The thumb was gently squeezed for easily coming out of blood, and the blood was
drop in a cleaned tile.
iv. Buffer solution was added to the blood sample and it was emulsify.
v. Pipette was used to collect the sample that was emulsified and was dropped on the
malaria kit (MP).
vi. And it was left for about 5minute before the reaction was observed.

Observed:

The MP kit has two indicator in the screen, when one red line show on the screen
mean the patient is negative and when it show two red line it mean the patient is positive.

12
 MP Kit

3.7 WAYS FOR PREVENTING MALARIA

i. Apply mosquito repellent with DEET (diethyltoluamide) to exposed skin.

ii. Drape mosquito netting over beds.
iii. Put screens on windows and doors.
iv. Treat clothing, mosquito nets, tents, sleeping bags and other fabrics with an insect
repellent called permethrin.
v. Wear long pants and long sleeves to cover your skin.

3.8 DRUGS TO KILL THE MALARIA PARASITE

Malaria is treated with prescription drugs to kill the parasite. Other common
antimalarial drugs include:

i. Atovaquone-proguanil (Malarone)
ii. Quinine sulfate (Qualaquin) with doxycycline (Oracea, Vibramycin, others)
iii. Primaquine phosphate

3.9 HERBS USE TO FLUSH OUT MALARIA

There are some common herbs that you can use at home help to relieve malaria
symptoms and its recovery. Herbs like
i. Tulsi,
ii. Neem,
iii. Ginger,

13
iv. Cinnamon,
v. Turmeric, guduchi
vi. Krishna musali
vii. Dogoyaro

CHAPTER FOUR

4.1 CONCLUSION

The student’s industrial Work Experience Scheme(SIWES) has drastically increased

my knowledge on malaria remains one of the major tropical health challenges in the world
today. However assessment of the true scales of the disease burden in fraught with
formidable challenge due to the focal and dynamic nature of the disease. When certain
symptoms like headache, vomiting, abdominal pain, joint pain, we should go for malaria test
to ascertain the disease

4.2 RECOMMENDATION

I recommend that wearing of long sleeved clothing and trouser or long clothing if someone is
outdoor at night and use of mosquito net over the bed, if bedroom is not air-condition or
screened
