CHAPTER ONE
 INTRODUCTION
The Industrial Training Fund (ITF) started the Student Industrial
Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) in 1973. The purpose of this
was to bring students at universities, polytechnics, and
technology institutes up to date on their practical expertise. By
giving students the chance to apply their academic knowledge in
actual work scenarios, it was intended to close the knowledge
gap between the theoretical knowledge learned in the classroom
and the technical knowledge in the industry. SIWES has
significantly improved the common pool of technical and related
skills that the Nigerian economy has developed over time and is
crucial for the country's industrial development.
The fact that SIWES helps to raise the standard of technical
skills generally available in the pool from which businesses
obtain technical workers further emphasizes the scheme's
position and significance. It offers students the chance to
combine the theoretical knowledge they have learned in the
classroom with the real-world, practical application of
knowledge needed to function in the workforce. Additionally, it
helps students get ready for the workforce and eases their
transition from academia to the workforce following graduation.
SIWES GOALS:
 The curriculum equips students with the skills necessary to
handle real-world scenarios in the workplace.
 It gives students a way to gain practical experience while
pursuing their studies and develops their industrial abilities.
  Introduces students to working methods and strategies that
they might not encounter in their course of study.
 Closing the knowledge gap between theory and practice by
giving students a way to apply what they have learned in the
lecture room to actual work settings
 Facilitating a simpler and more seamless graduation from
school by giving them improved connections for potential
future work placements
 Gives students a taste of what a genuine workplace is like
so they can expect what to encounter after graduation.
IMPORTANCE OF SIWES
Since its establishment, SIWES has
 Improved science and technology education
 Increased employment opportunities in the science and
technology sector
 Created a better standard of living
 Produced students with adequate practical skills in science
and technology.
 Opened doors to innovation in science and technology
Currently, SIWES cut across the below course of study.
 Natural sciences
 Engineering and Technology, Education
 Agriculture
 Medical Sciences
 Environmental, pure, and applied sciences.
 SIWES DURATION
 For Polytechnics/Monotechnic/Colleges of Technology

 At the end of the first year of the 2-year ND program.
 College of Education: 4 months. At the end of the 2nd year
of the 3-year NCE program.
 University: 3–6 months. End of the 200, 300, or 400 level
of a degree program.

CHAPTER 2
2.0 NATURE OF BUSINESS/LITERATURE REVIEW
OF INDUSTRY
Theory-Based Framework The objective of the Students'
Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is to familiarize
and equip graduates of education, technology, universities,
polytechnics, and institutes of technology with the types of
industrial work environments they are likely to encounter in the
workforce. This skills training program provides students with
the chance to acquaint themselves with, obtain, and gain
exposure to the necessary experience in operating industrial
apparatus and machinery, which is typically not offered at their
academic institutions. According to Usman (1983), the
development and procurement of knowledge, abilities, and skills
can be promoted via formal education or alternative non-formal
educational methods. Furthermore, without an effective human
resources development policy, it is improbable, if not
impossible, to implement an effective industrialization policy
(Olaiya, 1998).
When all aspects of production are considered, the human factor
emerges as the most critical. The failure to have competent
personnel in various domains such as production,
administration, distribution, marketing, and supervision would
render it impossible to attain the goals that have guided
industrial policy. SIWES is widely recognized as a valid
component of the minimum educational requirement for many
degree programs at Nigerian colleges and universities (Onwuji,
2004, cited in Nse, 2012). It is an effective method for gaining
new skills. Furthermore, the Federal Government's effort to
reconcile the evident or inherent divide between theory and
practice in the aforementioned academic programs is a credible
undertaking. According to Onwuji (2004), cited in Nse (2012),
SIWES is of the utmost importance because it exposes students
to industrial settings, equipment, sophisticated machines,
professional work ethics, and workplace safety, among other
things.
SIWES is a collaborative initiative involving students, tertiary
institutions and universities, polytechnics and institutes of
education, and numerous organizations and businesses. A
number of organizations, including the National Universities
Commission (NUC), the National Board of Technical Education
(NBTE), and the National Council for Colleges of Education
(NCE) Mafe (2010), are tasked with the oversight and financial
support of the program on behalf of the Nigerian government.
Two crucial police oversight mechanisms established by the
Constitution are the Police Council and the Police Service
Commission. The President, the Governor of each state, the
Chairman of the Police Service Commission, and the Inspector
General of Police comprise the Police Council. It is tasked with
the responsibility of overseeing the organization and
administration of the police force, providing general
supervision, and advising the President regarding the selection
of the Inspector General of Police.
The Police Service Commission is composed of a chairperson
and seven to nine community members, comprising a senior
police officer, a retired judge, and representatives from the
media, women's associations, and business associations. The
Police Service Commission is entrusted with the authority to
discipline police personnel, including the authority to remove
police officials from their positions.
In addition to the Police Council and Police Service
Commission, Nigeria has a National Human Rights Commission
(NHRC), which is empowered to investigate allegations of
human rights violations. The powers of the NHRC are limited,
however, in that its findings are only advisory and that it does
not have any prosecutorial or quasi-judicial powers.
In general, NPF officers did not possess firearms; they reserved
the use of weapons for specific missions or situations. A
resolution was issued in 1989 to relocate the majority of officers
to their regions of origin in an effort to improve relations
between law enforcement and the communities they served.
Ultimately, a number of non-governmental organizations in
Nigeria, including the Human Rights Monitor, the CLEEN
Foundation, and the Constitutional Rights Project, perform an
indispensable function in conducting external oversight of the
police.
The prevention of crimes the importance of an officer's
responsibilities in criminal control cannot be overstated.
They guarantee the preservation of criminal justice, the
enforcement of the law, and the reduction of crime.
Safeguarding human lives. This is an additional primary
function of the NPF. Every Nigerian citizen's life is of the
utmost value; therefore, it must be safeguarded at every
level.
Officers of the law must patrol their communities and make
every effort to avert potentially lethal offenses.
The detection of crimes. An additional critical
responsibility of law enforcement personnel is to identify
criminal activities and make every effort to avert them.
Each offense necessitates an investigation, and those
responsible must be apprehended and incarcerated.
In addition to planning, research, and statistics, the police
force is organized into distinct departments, including
investigations, training, work and logistics, operations,
administration, and finance.

2.1 HISTORY OF COMPANY

The Nigeria Police Force was first established in 1820. [citation
needed] In 1879, a 1,200-member armed paramilitary Hausa
Constabulary was formed. In 1896, the Lagos Police was
established. A similar force, the Niger Coast Constabulary, was
formed in Calabar in 1894 under the newly proclaimed Niger
Coast Protectorate. In the north, the Royal Niger Company set
up the Royal Niger Company Constabulary in 1888, with
headquarters at Lokoja.
When the protectorates of Northern and Southern Nigeria were
proclaimed in the early 1900s, part of the Royal Niger Company
Constabulary became the Northern Nigeria Police, and part of
the Niger Coast Constabulary became the Southern Nigeria
Police. During the colonial period, most police were associated
with local governments (native authorities). In the 1960s, under
the First Republic, these forces were first regionalized and then
nationalized.
The NPF performed conventional police functions and was
responsible for internal security generally; supporting the prison,
immigration, and customs services; and performing military
duties within or outside Nigeria as directed. Plans were
announced in mid-1980 to expand the force to 200,000.
By 1983, according to the federal budget, the strength of the
NPF was almost 152,000, but other sources estimated it to be
between 20,000 and 80,000. Reportedly, there were more than
1,300 police stations nationwide. Police officers were not
usually armed but were issued weapons when required for
specific missions or circumstances.
They were often deployed throughout the country, but in 1989,
well into Nigeria's second military dictatorship, Babangida
announced that a larger number of officers would be posted to
their native areas to facilitate police-community relations.
2.2 COMPANY MISSION/VISION STATEMENT
MISSION STATEMENT
 To collaborate with the general public and other pertinent
security agencies in the collection, organization, and
dissemination of intelligence and information with the goal
of safeguarding the nation.
 To actively engage in endeavors that target the fundamental
factors contributing to criminal behavior while concurrently
guaranteeing thorough investigations into criminal
incidents with the objective of bringing offenders to justice
in an equitable and competent fashion.
 To cultivate a workforce that is characterized by efficiency,
effectiveness, superior training, and intense motivation
while purposefully striving to enhance the capabilities and
well-being of every officer and member of the force.
 To build a people-friendly police force that will respect and
uphold the fundamental rights of all citizens.
  To build a gender-sensitive and gender-friendly police
force that will give equal opportunity to female police
officers while at the same time respecting their
peculiarities.
VISION STATEMENT
To make Nigeria safer and more secure for economic
development and growth; to create a safe and secure
environment for everyone living in Nigeria.
2.3 MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE
Structure of the Nigeria Police Force.
The Nigeria Police force like other paramilitary organization in
Nigeria is headed by an Inspector General of Police, who is the
Chief Executive of the organization.
As observed in the organization chart (organogram) below.
 1. The Inspector General of Police He is assisted by five (5)
Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of the
Administration, Operations, Technical Services,
Intelligence, and Finance Directorates, but the Finance
Directorate is headed by civilian staff deployed from the
office of the accountant – General of the Federation. There
are eight zones in the country created for administrative
convenience. Each of the zones is headed by an assistant
commandant-general as zonal commander. The Assistant
Commandant – General coordinates the activities of the
State Commands within the zone and is assisted by the
State Commandant and other lower-ranking officers (The
Defender, Volume 6).
Additionally, there is a state commissioner in each of the
36 federation states as well as the Federal Capital Territory.
The area commanders, who manage each state senate district
and around three (3) to five (5) divisional districts, are next in
the hierarchy. All of the nation's local government districts are
under the divisional officers' authority. Some divisional offices
are in charge of overseeing districts and outposts for effective
security coverage. Accordingly, the divisional officers are under
the district officer's supervision, and the cell officer reports to
them. Through their Area Commanders, Divisional Officers
submit reports to the State Commissioner, who in turn reports to
their Zonal Inspector General of Police.

2.4 BRIEF WRITE UP ON NIGERIA POLICE

FORCE IN NIGERIA AND MARKET SERVICES
SITUATION.
The Nigeria Police Force provides safety, property and life
protection, and conflict resolution procedures as services to the
general public. Their function is to protect and preserve people's
lives and assets, whether they be private, business, public,
charitable, industrial, or something entirely else. One of the
organizations the government has invested in to offer protection
and security for people's survival is the Nigeria Police Force.
The Federal Republic of Nigeria's government established the
Nigeria Police Force with the aim of protecting the country and
its people from threats, attacks, and natural disasters.
The civil force of a local government tasked with preventing and
detecting crime as well as upholding public order is known as
the police. Police officers have a lot of judgments to make and
have to deal with unlawful activity. Tillyer and Klamh (2010).
The community is urged to emulate the police's discipline,
which sets them apart from other law enforcement agencies.
Despite the circumstances, an officer's professionalism always
comes first, therefore picture a scenario in which he has to arrest
one of his own parents for breaching the law.
They are charged with the following roles and responsibilities:
securing the state and the people for peace, justice, freedom, fair
play, and orderliness. The force's main areas of focus are broad-
based information networking, tracking people's movements,
stopping all kinds of kidnappings, and carrying out any other
tasks that the parent ministry may specify in the best interests of
the government, such as keeping an eye on and supervising
private security firms.
Again, the force is charged with the responsibility to focus on
complete rescue operations, crisis response, and complimentary
security roles with security outfits such as the SSS, NIA, DSS,
the Army, and prison service, as indicated in the gazette or as
assigned by the government from time to time.
 2.5 ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THE
COMPANY OPERATES
Criminal acts are one of the major social issues bedeviling
modern Nigerian society. The threat of wrongdoing is
influencing not only the financial advancement of Nigeria but,
moreover, discolors the picture of the nation in the eyes of the
universal community. Crimes are deliberate acts that damage the
arrangement of the criminal law. The expanding rate of so
numerous crimes, such as seizing, equipped burglary, assault,
pipeline seizing, etc., has led to the foundation of more security
offices in order to address these challenges going up against
Nigerian society. The government established the Nigeria Police
Force to guarantee the protection of people's lives and property,
guard voting machines against ballot snatchers, and also protect
other government organs in order to support other security
organizations in crime prevention and control (NSCDC Act,
2003).
The problem of criminality and crime seems to be increasing in
twenty-first century Nigeria, thus raising serious concerns about
law and order in society. The security and welfare of the people
is the primary responsibility of the government, and every
citizen is expected to assist law enforcement agencies in the
maintenance of law and order and crime prevention and control
in society. Bernard and Olusegun (2013) state that "there is no
society that is totally free from crime and criminality, but the
degree of its presence and occurrence varies from one society to
the next, and this also depends on the mechanisms put in place
to checkmate the trend and incidence.
Each race or identity group in the world had and has accepted
collective patterns and methods of social control and conflict
resolution." In an effort to prevent and control crime in society,
the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria provides for
the establishment of security agencies in order to prevent and
control the menace of crime in society; however, despite the
efforts of the government through the Nigerian police force to
protect the lives and property of the citizens, the level of crime
is increasing (Adebayo, 2006).
Nigerian society faces many security problems, including
guerillas, kidnappings, and pipeline vandalism. This led to the
creation of Nigerian police constraints to help other forces, such
as the armed force, airfield, and naval forces, find criminals,
keep them away, and control them. In spite of the reality that,
with the establishment of the Nigeria Police Constraint, there's
still a rising wave of crime within the nation, in any case, the
Nigerian police drive is putting various measures and procedures
in place to prevent and control criminal behavior within society.
The Nigeria Police Drive may be a paramilitary office of the
government of the Republic of Nigeria that was built up to
supply measures against dangers and any assault or catastrophe.
The major concern is to ensure lives and properties.
 CHAPTER THREE
3.1 DUTIES / WHAT I LEARNT AT THE NIGERIA
POLICE FORCE HEADQUARTERS SUPARE ROAD,
ONDO STATE CHAPTER.
I was fully accepted into the Nigeria Police Force's Police
Divisional Headquarters along Supare Road in Akoko, Ondo
State, Nigeria after I submitted my SIWES 2 month before I was
accepted for my internship and was attached to two different
departments which includes; Anti- Vice Section. The department
was reponsible for attending to civil case Damage to property,
Probate issues, Family issues, Divorce, Landlord and tenant
disputes, Juvenile misconduct, Back rent, Unpaid personal loans
and so on. And I was also posted to Juvenile Welfare Centre
JWC. This department was responsible in handling Juvenile and
women related cases. At my first day at office, I was warmly
received and oriented by the, SIWES co-coordinator ASP. Adeyi
Friday in which the some of the weekly activities were
communicated to me which included:

 Attending to and questioning defendants and suspects who

were referred to each of the departments holding them.
 Gaining knowledge of how to help and guide the defendant
and suspect in completing the witness and suspect statements.
 Studying the methods of hearing, questioning, and
settlement that are employed in conflict resolution.
 I had real experience in handling cases, obtaining arrest
warrants, filing charges as directed, and interviewing suspects.
 I received basic training in conducting research interviews
with the complainant and the defendant.
 One of the things we perform on a daily basis in the human
rights department is counseling.
 I was also made to realize that, as a psychology student, it
is my responsibility to collaborate with the judiciary, law
enforcement, and prison staff in order to accomplish the same
objectives.
 I was trained to comprehend the methods used to question
suspects at the investigation department and how to obtain
accurate information, even from criminals who wish to conceal
the truth. forensic tools to gather information, despite the fact
that the majority of these tools were not made public.
 I also know how to get important information back from
complainant and how to profile a case.
 I was informed, upon my return to industrial training, that I
would be required to attend departmental lectures on security
techniques on a weekly and monthly basis in order to expand
my expertise.

3.2 SKILLS DEVELOPED AND TECHNIQUES I

LEARNT
Some of the skills I developed during the course of my
industrial attachment include the following:
 Interactive skill: This skill is very essential in motivating
and appraising patients commitment, improvement, and
competence at various levels.
 Asking questions skill: In order to obtain pertinent and
helpful information from clients and to obtain a full image
of the problem, it is crucial to ask precise and pertinent
questions. This will facilitate the therapy process.
 Empathy Skill: Practically speaking, I gained the capacity
to comprehend my client's experiences, feel his emotions,
 and see the world through my eyes as he does. This ability
enabled me to get my client's undivided attention and
provided me with access to the data I needed for the Clark
process.
 Ethical skill: This skill refers to the ability to relate to
patients officially by showing them that they are special,
valuable, and acceptable regardless of their status.
 Decision Making: I was granted the opportunity to make
decisions pertaining to my area of study throughout the
training. They inspired me to effectively complete the
entire assignment.
 Confidentiality skill: the ability to keep patients’ personal
secrets confidential and never to relate to them in society
based on what I know about them.
 Listening Skills: I practically learned how to pay attention
to the verbal and nonverbal cues of clients, both
complainants and accusers, in order to know if they are
sincere with what they are saying.
 Teamwork Skill: On numerous occasions, I worked with
my colleagues, and I was able to offer my own perspectives
and insights throughout the personal investigation that was
assigned to us. As with the counseling endeavor, I
collaborated with my fellow employees.
3.3 PRACTICAL CHALLENGES FACED AT WORK
 At first the environment was not conducive for me at first, it
looks strange and new but with time I was able to adapt.
 I find it challenging and difficult to interrogate harden
criminals, especially seeing me young made it easier for them
to refrain themselves from responding.
 Inability to counsel and calm furious and conflicted group of
elders with dispute among themselves especially on
union/association issues.
 Was unable to detect quickly suspect who has psychological
disorder and not fit for in interrogation.
 Majority of internship students are not being paid which
really affect most of us at the police headquarters.

 Certain internship students usually spend more than #500

daily on transport and at the end of the week, month or
training are not even given a token by their firms to support.

 How to maximize limited time in solving the psychological

problems of some suspect.
 Finding it hard to understand the steps to follow when taking
a suspect to court.
3.4 THEORETICAL PRINCIPLES LEARNT DURING
THE PROGRAMME
The theoretical principles are ideas and principles relating to my
course of study gathered during my internship programmed. The
theoretical principles learnt include:
 BIOLOGICAL THEORIES
 Biological theories of crime asserted a linkage between
certain biological conditions and an increased tendency to
engage in criminal behavior. In the 1890s great interest, as
well as controversy, was generated by the biological theory
of the Italian criminologist Cesare Lombroso, whose
investigations of the skulls and facial features of criminals
led him to the hypothesis that serious or persistent
criminality was associated with atavism, or the reversion to
a primitive stage of human development. In the mid-20th
century, William Sheldon won considerable support for his
theory that criminal behavior was more common among
muscular, athletic persons (mesomorphs) than among tall,
thin persons (ectomorphs) or soft, rounded individuals
(endomorphs).
 THEORY OF DELINQUENCY AND OPPORTUNITY
 The Theory of Opportunity explains the reasons why some
people are more successful than others. Why do some
people commit crimes while others do not? Richard
Cloward and Lloyd Ohlin were two criminologists who
wrote about these questions in the 1960s. Their work
focused on how access to opportunities shapes life chances
 and influences the degree to which youths end up
committing crimes.
 Delinquency and Opportunity Cloward and Ohlin were
particularly concerned with why youths commit crimes. At
the core of their theory is opportunity. American culture
generally advances the notion that if we work hard and are
smart and capable, we will find suitable employment. But
Cloward and Ohlin noted that this isn't always the case.
There are not always enough jobs for everyone, our school
systems do not prepare students equally, and we do not all
live in neighborhoods that provide us with opportunities.
The opportunities we have available to us determine in
many ways if we will turn to delinquency or conform to
more legitimate paths. According to Cloward and Ohlin,
youths turn to delinquency when they have been boxed out
of more legitimate opportunities. An example is when
working-class youths cannot find a good-paying job or
achieve middle-class status, and they turn to delinquency in
an effort to create a better life. Cloward and Ohlin believed
that this lack of money causes strain. Criminologists think
of strain as some type of societal force that compels people
to commit crimes. So according to this perspective,
individuals commit crimes because they are not able to
fulfill expected roles (for example, working an honest job),
which creates strain. So where do youths who do not have
any legitimate opportunities turn? According to Cloward
and Ohlin, many turn to subcultures.
 Classical Theory: Comparable to choose theory, this thesis
establishes that people deliberate before acting criminally
and that a person only commits a crime because they
believe it will benefit them.
 Conflict view: According to this theory, social conflicts
between various socioeconomic classes are what lead to
crime, and laws are really the product of necessity rather
than popular agreement.
 Critical Theory: Critical theory upholds the belief that a
small few, the elite of society, decide laws and the
definition of crime; those who commit crimes disagree with
the laws that were created to keep control of them.
 Labeling Theory: According to the labeling theory, social
reaction rather than behavior is what causes deviance. Put
another way, this theory holds that no behavior is
intrinsically bad on its own; rather, a behavior's status as
deviant depends on how it is responded to. The labeling
theory explains why certain individuals, communities, and
cultures view a behavior as negatively deviant while others
view it as favorably aberrant. Consider, for instance, the
activities of "homosexuality" (gay and lesbianism), which
are enthusiastically accepted and legally mandated in the
United States of America but are not supported by the
cultures of some countries, such as Nigeria.
 3.5 SPECIFIC CONTRIBUTIONS I MADE TO THE
COMPANY
 My supervisor gave me and my other colleagues the opportunity
to document criminal profiling. It gives me an idea of the course
I am going to register for in 400L forensic psychology. I keep
records and statements of suspect and defendant, and I also make
sure they are well kept in a secure safe in the department.
 I contributed to the organization by assisting any police officers
on duty most times in a civil case to gather data and valid
information from the complainant and defendant.
 I also contributed to counseling both parents, suspects, and
defendants, mainly those that have cases that are not hard.
 I also helped in carrying out inter-cell and individual counseling
on suspects, victims, and drug addicts.
 Several times, I volunteered to take down statements from the
suspect and defendant.
3.6 THE FUTURE OF THE BUSINESS WITHIN THE
NIGERIA ECONOMY
With regard to the Nigerian economy, the Nigeria Police Force
has a brighter future because, without social harmony, daily
operations, productivity, and economic chains cannot be
realized. The Nigeria Police Force is tasked with maintaining
law and order in the community as well as preventing and
controlling crime. The Nigeria Police Force was given mandates
by Nigerian law to enforce law compliance and to abstain from
any actions that could incite violence or cause confusion among
the populace. The Nigeria Police Force has been given authority
and responsibility by the government of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria to uphold law and order in the community.
The safeguarding of national citizens' lives and property is one
of the NPF's other main responsibilities. Crime prevention is
becoming more of a priority for the Nigeria Police Force. The
government founded the force in response to the sharp rise in
criminal activity, with the mandated dual purposes of upholding
law and order and assisting other security agencies in their
attempts to prevent and control crime. Since its founding, the
Nigeria Police Force has taken on a number of responsibilities to
effectively prevent and regulate crime in society.
Peace is very necessary for the development of any society
because no society can develop in a state of conflict and
insecurity. Despite the fact that all societies are characterized by
crime, the need to prevent and control crime in society has
become necessary, which leads to the establishment of both
formal and informal mechanisms by society in order to control
the menace of crime and help society achieve social order. The
issue of the safety of lives and property of citizens in Nigeria is
becoming increasingly dubious despite the presence of formal
law enforcement agencies such as the Nigerian police force, the
Nigerian Force Agency, and other paramilitary agencies.
However, one of the most significant problems facing society
has always been crime. Society can better comprehend the
nature of crime and criminal conduct with the aid of forensic
psychology. It greatly aids in investigating crimes from a social
and personal perspective. It plays a crucial function in the
criminal justice system since it can be applied to assess the
effectiveness of the system or try to predict or prevent crime. It
is useful for analyzing crime trends and determining the role that
societal, economic, demographic, or individual factors play in
crime. It advances our knowledge of the origins and effects of
crime. We can use it to lower the crime rate in our community.

CHAPTER FOUR
4. 0 RELEVANCE OF INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
EXPERIENCE TO COURSE OF STUDY
Typically, the experience I gained from my internship program
was relevant because it represented theoretical knowledge in a
real-world setting. I had the chance to see several instances of

 RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that multiple SIWES supervisory visits be
conducted to oversee students' attendance, involvement, and
other pertinent behaviors. Additionally, it is important to
determine whether the students' placement aligns with their
academic program.
The institution should work with the Nigeria Police Force's
dispute resolution unit to host seminars and other pertinent
awareness-raising events that would help students from different
university disciplines.
In order to fulfill the program's objectives, the government also
needs to make sure that SIWES students are properly
supervised.
Given the potential of the program to improve the caliber of the
pool of technical skills accessible to the economy, the federal
government should include sufficient financing for SIWES in
the yearly budget.
To help put students in industry, a thorough and detailed list of
firms that accept students for SIWES is desperately needed. in
order to ensure the ITF and the institution receive quality
assurance.
To avoid harming SIWES's reputation, the ITF should make
sure that the backlog in student allowance payments is rectified
as soon as possible.
CONCLUSION
The six-month SIWES program has tremendously broadened my
knowledge by bridging the gap between theories learned in
school and practical experience in the work environment.
The training has equipped me in the field of my study, especially
in the area of crime, forensic, clinical, and social behavior, to
solve crime-related issues and also to apply the principles to
other aspects of human endeavors.
Regarding this, I commend NUC, ITF, and the Federal
Government for including SIWES in the university curriculum.
In order to build a future forensic psychology in which every
aspect they might want to get involved in will protect the
integrity of the profession and make commitment to efficient,
effective, and transparent forensics social services to Nigerians
at large in a client- or patient-friendly environment, I will
recommend that all upcoming AAUA Psychology students be
allowed to participate in this program.
