The laboratory practicals have not been able to give the student all the necessary experience that will be needed. However, this will be taken care of by Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (S.I.W.E.S) popularly known as Industrial Training (I.T).

SIWES (IT) was designed to bridge the gap between schoolwork and actual practice. In pharmacy, it is scheduled after the second-semester examination of year three which span a period of six months.

SIWES is the acronym for Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme. This scheme is spearheaded by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) which was created by the federal government of Nigeria for the purpose of giving industrial exposure to students in higher institutions.
