The University of Lagos (UNILAG), through its Central Industrial Liaison and Placement Unit (CILPU), has announced the 2026 SIWES Orientation Exercise for all students getting ready for this year’s SIWES program. The orientation is meant to help students prepare for their SIWES work placement and understand the simple rules they must follow as set by the University of Lagos. All students whose names are on the SIWES list must be at the briefing on the date, time, and venue announced by the school.
Orientation Date, Time, and Venue
Students should take note of the official schedule:
- Date: Tuesday, 2 December 2025
- Time: 9:00 a.m.
- Venue: LT 026, Faculty of Science, UNILAG, Akoka
Coming early will help students settle in before the program starts.
Who Should Attend
Every student listed for the 2026 SIWES exercise must attend. Students are expected to:
- Be present at LT 026 for the entire session
- Listen carefully to the instructions from CILPU staff
- Take note of all rules for the SIWES training period
Attendance will be taken, so missing the session may affect a student’s SIWES participation.
Why the Orientation Is Important
SIWES helps students connect what they learn in class to real-life work experience. This briefing will help students:
- Know what is expected of them during SIWES
- Understand how to keep proper records and write reports
- Learn how to reach CILPU if any challenges come up during the placement
Students may find it helpful to bring a notebook or device to jot down key points.
How Attendance Will Be Taken
CILPU has made it clear that attending the orientation is compulsory. Students should expect that:
- Attendance will be recorded during the event
- Only those who attend will be marked present for this stage of the SIWES process
To avoid issues, students should plan to arrive before 9:00 a.m.
