CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) was
established by Industrial Training Fund (ITF) in 1973 to solve the
problems of lack of adequate practical skills and prepare Nigerian
graduates in tertiary institutions for employment in industries.
The scheme exposes students to industry based skills necessary for a
smooth transition from the classroom to the labour market. It is a
widely accepted skilled training programme which forms part of the
approved minimum academic standards in the various degree
programmes for all Nigerian tertiary institution.
It is an effort to bridge the gap existing between theory and
practical of Engineering, Technology, Agriculture, Science,
Medical, Management and other professional education
programmers in Nigerian tertiary institutions.
The programme is to expose students to machines and
equipments, professional working method and ways of
safeguarding the work areas and workers in industries and
organizations.
The scheme is a tripartite programme involving the Students,
the Universities and the Industries (employer of labor). It is
funded by the Federal Government of Nigeria and jointly
coordinated by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) and the
National Universities Commission (NUC).
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF SIWES
The aims and objectives of Students Industrial Work
Experience Scheme (SIWES) are:
1. To provide an avenue for students in institutions of
higher learning to acquire industrial skills and
experiences in their course of study.
2. To prepare students for the industrial work situation
they are to meet after graduation.
3. To expose students to working methods and
techniques in handling equipment and machinery that
may not be available in their institution.
4. To make the transition from school to the labour
market easier and enhance students’ contacts for job
placement.
CHAPTER 2
BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON NIMASA
NIMASA is the foremost maritime regulatory agency in Nigeria. It was established
on 1st August 2006, arising from the merger of the National Maritime Authority
(NMA), Government Inspector of Shipping (GIS) and the Joint Maritime Labour
Industrial Council (JOMALIC), with additional functions, and by a new Act which
became effective from 25th day of May 2007. The obligation of regulating the
Maritime industry in Nigeria rests on the Agency through the relevant
instruments:-
• Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency Act. 2007.
• Merchant Shipping Act. 2007.
• Coastal and Inland Shipping (Cabotage) Act. 2003.
The Agency was established primarily for the Administration of Maritime Safety
Seafarers Standards and Security, Maritime Labour, Shipping Regulation,
Promotion of Commercial Shipping and Cabotage activities. Pollution Prevention
and Control in the Marine environment, the Agency also implements
domesticated International Maritime Organization (IMO) and International
Labour Organization (ILO) Conventions.
ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE OF NIMASA
The Group is structured into eight (8) Departments under
three (3) Executive Directorate. The Departments
includes: Maritime Safety and Seafarers Standard,
Administration and Human Resources, Marine labor
services, Shipping Development, Cabotage services,
Planning Research and Data Management Services,
Financial Services and the Marine Environmental
Management Departments.
The Directorates includes: Finance and Administration,
Maritime Labor and Cabotage Services, and Operations.

PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED AND KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED
PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED
The challenges I encountered during my SIWES program was;
1. Problem Solving & Decision Making: Applying critical-thinking skills to solve problems by
generating, evaluating, and implementing solutions.
2. Adaptability/Flexibility: Being open to change (positive or negative) and to considerable
variety in the workplace.
3. Working with Tools & Technology Selecting, using, and maintaining tools and technology
to facilitate work activity.
4. Maintenance and Troubleshooting: Marine Maintenance, Installation, & Repair
Maintain and optimize marine equipment and systems.
KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED
After my internship with NIMASA;
1.I can identify Engineering tools used for repair and maintenance of an Internal
Combustion Engine and also understand the working relationship of different parts of the
marine engine
2. Installation and Repair Skills: Maintain hands-on knowledge of equipment operations
3. Support the installation, customization, or upgrading of equipment.
4. Use of Hand Tools for the Installation of Parts for Equipment.
5. Coordinate preventive maintenance to ensure processes run smoothly.
6. Basic Maintenance and Troubleshooting Skills on Lubricating Systems, Fuel Systems,
Mechanical Systems and engine water cooling systems, piping and pumping systems.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
SUMMARY
Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) provide students with appreciable
skills and expose them to equipment’s in real life-working experience. Students gain
understanding of the work-environment and a better understanding of the students’ career
goals.
This report gives a detailed explanation of all the activities of my students’ Industrial Work
Experience Scheme carried out at MSSSD in NIMASA, Kiri-kiri, Apapa, Lagos.
CONCLUSION
This industrial training has afforded me the basic practical knowledge that I would not
have gotten from the lecture room. I’ve obtained some necessary experience onboard and
also had the opportunity to feel what it would be like after my graduation. It is therefore
necessary for students to take part in the SIWES program.
THANK YOU
