UNILAG 2026 SIWES Orientation Exercise

The 2026 SIWES Orientation Exercise of the Central Industrial Liaison and Placement Unit (CILPU), University of Lagos (UNILAG) is set to hold for students who will take part in this session’s SIWES programme.

The event will help students get ready for their work placement period and guide them on how to meet all basic requirements set by the University of Lagos. Every named student is expected to attend the briefing at the stated time and place on the UNILAG campus.

UNILAG SIWES orientation date, time, and venue

• Date: Tuesday, 2 December 2025
• Time: 9.00 a.m.
• Venue: LT 026, Faculty of Science, UNILAG, Akoka

Arriving early gives students time to settle down before the session starts.

Who should attend the SIWES orientation

Attendance is compulsory for all students who are scheduled for this session’s SIWES exercise.

Every student whose name appears on the SIWES list is expected to:

• Be present at LT 026 for the full session
• Pay attention to all guidance from CILPU staff
• Take note of rules that will guide conduct during the SIWES period

Since attendance will be recorded, missing the event may affect a student’s standing on the SIWES programme.

Why the SIWES briefing matters for students

SIWES is an important training period that links classroom learning with real work settings in industry and public service. This orientation helps students to:

• Understand basic expectations for conduct during SIWES
• Hear key points on record keeping and reporting
• Learn how to contact CILPU if issues arise while on placement

Students may find it helpful to come with a small notebook or digital device for short notes, so that no key point is missed.

How attendance will be recorded

CILPU has made it clear that attendance at the orientation is compulsory.

Students should expect that:

• Attendance will be taken during the event
• Only students who attend will be marked present for this stage of the SIWES process

For this reason, students are encouraged to plan their day so that they can be seated before 9.00 a.m.
