The announcement is contained in an internal memo dated 7 January 2026 and signed by the Director of SIWES, Dr Kanife, U. C.

What the orientation is set up to do

It also states that students will meet and interact with officials of the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) on issues relating to SIWES (the session is meant to address questions that come up before placement begins).
