our nation, through this, adequate and intelligent student are provided the department

Diploma (ND) graduate. Its relevance in education system cannot be over emphasized as it
develops the student to become skilled and experience professionalism in their various
disciplines. It enables students to appreciate the basic concept involved in their field of
study. It is also an effort to bridge the gap existing between theory and practical, in the
sense that it exposes students to real industrial work experience. SIWES, which involves the
University authorities and the industrial sector, runs for 24weeks for students in the fourth
academic year in universities. The scheme was organized by the Federal Government and
jointly coordinated by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) and the Nigeria Universities

4.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSION
My industrial training at Nigerian Port Authority. The company conferred me the opportunity
to interact and exchange ideas with Students from other Institutions of Higher learning. It
also helped me work and relate with people from different religious, ethnic, educational and
social background. This I believe better equips me for the world outside the walls of the
University campus. The Industrial Training also exposed me to the more practical aspects of
the theories I have studied in school.
