CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION

1.1 Student’s industrial work experience scheme (SIWES)

Student industrial work experience scheme (SIWES), is a program designed to expose students to the practice aspects of their course of study. It involves the attachment of the student to an organisation in line with his /her respective course of study that can provide the training and experience required in the industry, as it cannot be obtained in the lecture rooms but the theoretical knowledge taught in lecture rooms shall be applied by the student in real industrial situations.

This training experience is an essential component in the development of the practical and professional skills required of each student, and also stands out as an aid to prospective employment. (Popoola, 2012)

SIWES was established by industrial training fund (ITF) in 1973 to solve the problem of lack of adequate practical skills preparatory for employment in industries.

1.2 Nigeria customs service medical centre

Nigeria customs service medical centre is an established unit under the Nigeria customs service. It was established on 25th October 2002, located in Karu, FCT Abuja. The medical centre is headed and managed by a deputy comptroller of customs, who serves as the chief medical director. Residents of Karu and environs had over the years suffered untold hardships and exploitations, ever increasing and unnecessary deaths resulting from the lack of a standard health and medical establishment in the area.

The few privately owned health institutions in Karu had therefore capitalized on this to exploit helpless patients through exorbitant charges coupled with incompetent and unethical professional services. However, the present Nigerian Customs medical Corp and facilities put in place at Karu, Abuja-FCT has brought a lot of smiles and relief to the lives of patients and most especially, pregnant and expectant mothers The value of services administered on patients are highly commendable, while drugs are sold at subsidised rates for the affordability of the poor masses of the area (Kolawale , 2008). .

This medical Centre now serves as the only saving grace for all residents from all walks of Karu and environs, the city centre inclusive. Patients and pregnant mothers throng to this medical centre for an assured medical attention and analysis and the pressure is quite having an adverse impact on the very inadequate medical facilities and personnel on ground (Kolawale, 2008).
