How to Write a SIWES Report – Sample and Format (Score A)

Do you want to learn the proper way and steps in writing your industrial training/SIWES report?

Since I started this blog, I’ve received countless messages through email, WhatsApp, and my blog from industrial training students, who want to learn and know the proper way in writing a good and presentable report, but do not know how to go about it.

Some of you guys don’t have time on your side, as your report submission and presentation is around the corner.

Also, others weren’t given any orientation by their schools, and few actually didn’t undergo the training.

And now, you have been asked by your department to write and present reports.

Each time I receive such messages, I try to reply as soon as possible to prevent and possibly reduce the failure rate in this programme.

That’s why I feel it’s my duty to you, my readers, to aid you in understanding this subject, because I want you to succeed and to succeed as well as possible.

In this article, students of Accounting, Agriculture, Architecture, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Computer Science, Business Administration, Engineering, Microbiology, Food Science and Technology, Nutrition and Dietetics, Office Technology and Management, Mass Communication etc. will easily learn how to write A-Grade SIWES report.

Just read on!

What is a SIWES Report?

This report is usually type-written using MS Word, printed, binded and is to be submitted by the students to their school lecturers/supervisors or department at the end of their training for review, presentation and grading.

The report should give succinct details of all work-related activities that took place in the place of industrial attachment.

It should be written in such a way that a layperson or one who hasn’t been to the workplace would easily and clearly understand the activities, projects, jobs carried out and products produced by the firm.

Also, the report should be free of grammatical blunders.

SIWES Report Format

Here is the format for SIWES report writing using Microsoft Word:

• Paper – A4 Sized White Paper
• Font – Times New Roman
• Font Size – 12
• Line Spacing – 2.0 (Double Line)
• Aligned/Justified on Both Sides

Part of the SIWES/I.T Report

The SIWES/I.T report is usually divided into three (3) main parts, namely:

(1) Preliminary Pages

• Acknowledgements
• Table of Contents
• Abstract (Report Overview)

Note: The preliminary pages are numbered in Roman Numerals ( i, ii, iii, iv etc.) at the bottom of each page.

(2) Report Body (Chapters)

(3) References

Preliminary Pages

1. Title Page

You’ll have to include:

• Your Full Name
• I.T Company Name and Address
• Matriculation or Reg. No.
• Department, Faculty and School

The date to include can be the month and year you’re to submit your report to your department for grading or do your defense/presentation.

It can also be the duration of your training, i.e. when you began and ended your training. e.g. 06/01/2024  – 25/06/2024 .

The font size for the title page is 14  and in bold capital letters throughout.

2. Dedication

3. Acknowledgements

4. Table of Contents

The Table of Contents should show the orderly and sequential arrangement of the aforementioned pages, including the activities, projects carried out by you at your workplace.

This page enables a reader to easily know and find the exact pages of a particular topic or activity of interest without having to read the entire report.

5. Abstract 

Summary of the report.

Don’t give paragraphs when writing the report abstract, because it is usually jam-packed, as you can see in the picture above.

The length should also be 1/2 (half) or 3/4 (three-quarter) of the page you’ll be writing it on.

Use single line spacing (i.e. 1 ) for the abstract.

Report Body 

The body of the SIWES report is usually divided into four (4) chapters, although you can have up to 5 or more chapters.

But, it’s always advisable to make your report brief, except you’ve a lot to write about.

You’re not actually writing a textbook.

In short, your lecturers/supervisors may not have the time to read the complete report.

They will probably scan through important parts/pages of your report looking for errors, mistakes or interesting facts (activities).

Sometimes, “Quality over Quantity”

The manner and approach you’ll use in writing your report usually depends on the firm you work with, departments you worked in, and activities carried out by you.

For example, the way a SIWES report of an I.T student who worked in a medical laboratory is written, differs sometimes from the report of those who worked in fast food, bakeries, construction sites, farms, etc.

1. Chapter One

In this chapter, you’ll have to write on:

• The s cope, aim and objectives of SIWES.
• History and background of your workplace e.g. you can include the owner/manager(s) names, year of establishment, staff strength, etc. If it’s registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and NAFDAC, you can also include.
• Company’s objectives (vision, mission, values) and scope of service. Scope of Service means the areas of specialization of the company. It can be what the company produces, sells, teaches or operates. For instance, a private hospital may specialize in a laboratory, pharmacy, gynecology, surgery, ultrasound scan, eye clinic, etc.
• Board of Directors (if applicable).
• Departments/sections in the company.
• Branches of the company (if applicable).
• Organizational chart/structure of the company.

Meanwhile, the Organizational Chart is simply a diagram showing the positions of workers/departments or flow of power in the firm from maybe the top (manager, director, CEO) to the bottom (drivers, cleaners etc.).

2. Chapter Two

In this chapter, you can write on:

• General introduction to the company or a specific unit/section in the company you worked in or a major activity, job, project you learnt and carried out.
• Safety precautions or rules and regulations of the company.
• Emergency in the company (optional).
• Equipment’s, machines, tools, devices etc. used in the company or a specific unit/section in the company you worked in.

Note: Don’t include images of the equipment’s used, instead list them out orderly and state their various uses.

3. Chapter Three

In this chapter, it is expected that the activities carried out during training under various section(s) are discussed here in order of priorities and logically.

It may be numbered as 3.1, 3.2, 3.3…..

Another level, e.g. 3.1.1, 3.1.2, 3.1.3, 3.2.1, 3.2.2, 3.3.3… may be added where 3.1 and 3.2 have other subheadings.

You can discuss tests, projects, production, quality control, machines applications, sewing, repairs/maintenance, construction, crafts/design, web/software development, fish farming, etc.

In this chapter, you can also choose to include some pictures of the equipment’s, tools, machines, devices, materials used in the various section(s) you worked in.

The pictures can be black and white, coloured or both.

You can also include flowchart diagrams, e.g. If you worked in a bottled/sachet water production factory, you may choose to include diagrams showing the steps involved in water production, treatment, purification, packaging, etc.

You can equally include images of the finished product (i.e. bottled/sachet water).

If you also worked in a bakery, you can also include pictures showing the steps involved in bread production (from dough mixing to final packaging of the sliced/loaves of bread in nylons).

You can equally choose to include pictures of you alone or with other students/workers while carrying out some activities in the various sections of the company. Although, this isn’t really that necessary.

Note : Pictures shouldn’t be that much. Just a few necessary ones are enough.

Any picture or diagram included in the report must bear a title/description just like the one below.

4. Chapter Four

This chapter should contain the:

• Summary of your activities at your I.T place.
• Challenges you encountered during your training, e.g. cost of transportation, no payment, poor attitudes of customers or fellow workers/employees, night shifts, etc.
• Personal suggestions, recommendations towards improvement of industrial training in the firm, state or the country at large.
• Conclusion.

This should come at the end of your report writing.

You can’t say that you actually wrote your SIWES report by yourself without making use of the internet, textbooks, materials, your workplace handbooks/manuals or copy and pasting.

This section is where all sources referred in writing are listed.

Referencing is also known as a bibliographic listing of information sources cited or consulted at the end of every research. You must give credits where due.

“American Psychological Association (APA) Style of Referencing” is recommended.

The references must be arranged in alphabetical order.

All citations must be consistent, reflected in the references section, and must conform to standard scientific format.

The references above are based on/related to report i.e. training undergo in a Poultry Farm.  

Your report can’t be about laboratory tests and you’ll now be having reference sources and articles of water or bread production. It makes little sense. It has to be related.

If you undergo your training in two different companies, you can choose to write just one or two different SIWES reports.

But, I’ll recommend you write only one report, i.e. merge both together.

Below is the  Table of Contents for six months training (report) undergo in two different companies ( D Kings Kid Conglomerates and OUI Ozonized Water ).

How Many Pages Should My SIWES Report Be?

I’ve received so many questions from students as to how many pages their SIWES report should be.

Well, there’s no exact page number for the SIWES report.

But, by using the format outlined on this blog, not less than 20 pages are okay.

That means 20 – 60 pages are perfect for the SIWES report writing.

Your school, department or lecturers (supervisors) may instruct and give you a specific page limit to use in your report writing.

For instance, you may be told that your report shouldn’t be less than 40 pages .

If so, obey and abide by your lecturer or supervisor rule.

Your lecturer or supervisor can also order you to increase the report font size to 13 or above instead of 12 (the standard font size).

This can be due to eye defects or choice.

If so, also obey and abide by your lecturer (supervisor) rule.

How Many Report Copies Should I Print Out?

First, printing is within the range of ₦ 10 – ₦ 30   in most cyber cafes and business centres in Nigeria.

That means, if your report is 30 pages   and you print at ₦ 10   per page…

i.e. 30 pages X ₦ 10 = ₦ 300

If you should include report binding, which is usually ₦ 100 – ₦ 300 ,

Let’s say you bind your report at ₦ 100 .

Then, you’ll likely be spending ₦ 400   ( i.e. ₦ 100   +  ₦ 300 ) in printing out just one report copy.

You may decide to print out two report copies. One for yourself and the other copy you’ll submit to your school, department, or lecturer (supervisor).

You may also decide to print and have only one report copy, which will be the one for submission.

Maybe you don’t have or want to waste money or probably you see no reason and usefulness of getting additional report copy.

How to Write SIWES Report

To write a Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) report, follow these steps:

• For chapter one, start by introducing SIWES.
• For chapter two, introduce the company or organization where you did your training. Include the name of the company, its location, and a brief description of what it does.
• In chapter three, describe the specific tasks and responsibilities you were given during your training. Be sure to include any technical skills or knowledge you gained during the training.
• In chapter four, discuss the challenges and problems you faced during your training, and how you overcame them.
• After discussing the challenges, you faced, provide a summary of the key lessons you learnt during your training. This could include new technical skills you acquired, or insights you gained about the industry.
• Conclude your report by discussing how your training has prepared you for future employment, and how it will benefit your studies.
• Provide recommendations for improving the SIWES program, based on your experiences.

Keep in mind that your SIWES report should be well-written and easy to read.

Be sure to proofread your report carefully and use clear and concise language throughout.

Follow any specific guidelines provided by your school or institution for writing a SIWES report.

How To Write a Good SIWES Technical Report – Ultimate Guide

• Reading time: 39 mins read
• Post category: Blogs

Learning is not only for the 4 walls of the classroom. Undergraduate students, especially those studying STEM-related disciplines, need industrial experience to prepare for life after graduation. That is the main purpose of Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES). Among other things, it enables students to apply their theoretical knowledge in real work situations. The history of SIWES in Nigeria shows that it was established to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

SIWES usually lasts for about 3 to 6 months, depending on the students’ department. A well-documented SIWES Report must be submitted at the end of the period. Obtaining an A-grade is everyone’s aspiration. However, it comes with a lot of sacrifices, hard work, and determination.

This article aims to reveal the hidden secrets in writing an excellent SIWES technical report. At the end of this article, SmartBukites offers premium samples of various A-Grade SIWES report templates .

Ready for your A + ? Let’s dive in!

Meaning of SIWES Technical Report?

Firstly, let’s get the concept behind the SIWES report.

The SIWES report summarizes all activities that occurred during the internship/industrial training. This includes experiences, skills acquired and even problems encountered. For a great grade, your SIWES report should be written in a well-structured way, with references where appropriate. Note that your SIWES report contributes at least 40% to your final grade!

Key Notes on SIWES Experience

With the experience and exposure it entails, SIWES increases student’s employability and communication skills. It also familiarizes students with their chosen career paths and the prospective work-place environment. 

Before the end of SIWES, students should seek explicit approval certifying no confidential materials or documents are included in the report. Also, students should present their findings at their SIWES station, including acquired skills and contributions. These are great additions to your CV/Resume!

The following should be considered:

• Length of training
• Preliminary information
• Technical report/diary

Wondering How to Start Planning Your SIWES Report?

If You Fail to Plan, You are Planing to Fail!

Appropriate planning helps in coordinating the documentation of all the activates during the internship. Ensure you make plans before writing reports as it will serve as guidance for a successful Industrial Training report. Keep reading for a break-down of how to write a good SIWES Report.

Time needed: 7 days.

SIWES Report Format

There is a standard format for writing A-grade standard reports. Some elements of the report may be changed, but there are still some basic sections which every SIWES report must contain. The following is the standard format of a SIWES Report, according to the Faculty of Engineering, Bayero University, Kano.

Note : In some cases, your SIWES Report may not need to contain all the listed sub-sections. 

• COVER PAGE – This should include the following in the stated order:

University Logo on the right side 

Title: Technical Report on Student Industrial Working Scheme (SIWES I/II)

[Font size 18, Times New Roman]

Place of SIWES name. 

[Font size 16, Times New Roman] 

Student Name & Registration Number 

[Font Size 14, Times New Roman] 

Month and Year 

• PRELIMINARY PAGES – These are sections which are usually written last but are presented in the first pages of the report. They include:
• Abstract: The abstract is the face of your SIWES report.

To a large extent, it determines how well your report will be graded.

An abstract contains a concise summary of the Industrial Training (IT) Report. Here, you summarize your introduction, aims, and purpose of the Industrial, experience, problems, and way forward. It should be brief and straight to the point, no long stories.

• Certification: This is a page that testifies that the SIWES Report was compiled by the author. It contains a testimony-like statement with the full name and registration number (and/or department) of the student. It is duly signed by the student and his/her supervisor(s).
• Dedication : The dedication section of your SIWES report contains information on whom or where the student dedicates the work to, either to God, deity, someone dead or alive. Make it brief and captivating. 
• Acknowledgement: During the course of your SIWES, you must’ve come across people who contributed to your experience. The acknowledgement section of your SIWES report showcases information about people you appreciates as contributors to the success of your SIWES. We advise you to acknowledge your supervisor and lecturers. 
• Table of Content : This contains details on the main headings, subheadings, and page numbers of the work. Each page number is derived from the page number of the heading. It should be checked when other pages are been completed to see whether they tally 
• REPORT BODY (CONTENT): This consists of about 4 to 5 chapters:

Chapter 1.0: Introduction – Here, provide brief history of SIWES and how it was established. You should acknowledge the rationale behind the SIWES or Industrial Training (IT). You may also state objectives of the program and the importance of the training. The section may be structured thus:

    1.1 Background of the study  

1 2 Brief history of the Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) 

1.2.1 Aim of SIWES 

1.2.2 Objectives of Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme 1.2.3 Relevance of SIWES to field of study.

     Chapter 2.0: General Principles of Management (Theoretical Framework) –  

This is where you outline the various departments in the establishment and its function: This is where you enumerate different sections in the organization. After stating the different sections or departments, the student is expected to explain their functions. The section may be presented thus:

2.1 Data about the company [ Information on the establishment where the training was conducted ]: 

2.1.1 Name of the Company/Institution 

2.1.2 Address of the Company. 

2.1.3 Commencement Date. 

2.1.4 Activities of the Company/Institution 

2.2 Organizational set-up of the company 

2.2.1 Organizational structure (including organogram or chart) of the Company/Institution [ Mention the different operations/offices and the responsibilities of the office-holders in the organization. For example, Managing Director is the owner of the organization and the general overseer who makes the final decision in the office .] 

2.3 Professional Ethics

2.3.1 Code of conduct which the company/Institution follows in terms of ethics

Chapter 3.0: Analysis of Production/Services/Institution – This is where the student explains more about the activities of the organization, the projects carried out during the period of internship, and the personal experience he/she gained while participating in those projects. This can be a step-by-step procedure for producing a particular commodity for production companies.

The student is also expected to state in concise and clear terms what he/she can do on their own based on the experience gained.

This part of the report has to be in detail with charts (if any) and photographs of both the projects carried out and the tools used. However, avoid making the report too bulky.

The section consists of:

3.1 Ergonomics 

3.1.2 Health Safety and Environmental Management (HSE) of the company/Institution. 3.1.1 Company Policy, Layout, Objectives and Strategies

3.2 Products and/or Services

3.2.1 Machines/software/equipment used in the company. 

            [ Tip: State personnel required to operate them ]

3.2.2 Images of machines/software/equipment

[ Tip: Use real workplace images rather than internet-downloaded ones ]

3.2.3 Material handling 

3.3 Quality Engineering (Control)

3.3.1 Responsibilities and activities of Quality Control/Quality Assurance in the company 

3.3.2 Tools and equipment used for quality assurance. 

3.4 Maintenance Engineering 

3.4.1 Company or Institution Maintenance policy

3.4.2 Material procurement

Chapter 4.0: Industrial Experience – This section should be realistic and original. It consists:

      4.1 Actual work carried out (with clear account of experience acquired)

     4.2 Problems encountered during the SIWES period in the company/Institution 

[This is where the student explains the problems encountered. The student must have experienced or identified problem(s) or area(s) that requiring improvement or evaluation while undergoing training in the institution. Moreover, this is an opportunity for the student to express his/her self.

The challenges (problems) encountered meant here could be from the place of attachment or from the SIWES body. Nevertheless, the student is expected to be free in expressing his/herself as no one has never been punished for doing so.]

4.2.1 Suggest solutions to encountered problems

   Chapter 5.0: Conclusions and Recommendations – 

This is where you round off your report with:

5.1 Conclusions

    5.2 Recommendations

In recommendations, the student is to suggest the best possible solutions he/she thinks could solve the challenges encountered in relation to the challenges stated previously. The suggestions could be addressed either to the organization or to the SIWES body, depending on the challenges identified. 

Ensure you make conclusions using the information extracted from the previous chapters, then saying more about the reasons why the SIWES program should continue. That is, summarize your report in three or four paragraphs .

• BIBLIOGRAPHY/REFERENCES

You’ll need to cite the sources of the information you used in compiling your report. In this context, relevant sources could be resources gotten from the place of SIWES, some relevant articles, textbooks or online webpages.  

You may either use a Reference List or a Bibliography. The two are often interchanged but the difference between them is that while a Reference List contains the sources quoted in the document, a Bibliography contains both the cited and uncited sources which were consulted while compiling the report.    

Any approved referencing standard can be used here; however, we suggest APA, Harvard or IEEE Referencing Standard (Especially for Technical and Engineering Students). 

Important Tips for good SIWES Report writing

References to books, term & technical papers shouldn’t be left out when making the technical report. 

The conclusion should include comprehensive comments on the value of experience gained and how it relates to one’s professional career.

Advisably, a copy of the report should be submitted to the employer, a copy to the (Faculty) SIWES Office, and the other retained as a personal copy.

How to Write a Detailed SIWES Technical Report and Get an A Grade

Depending on your department, the Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) usually ranges from three to six months. A comprehensively documented technical report is required at the end of the training period. Typically, getting an A-grade is the goal when wrapping up SIWES training. However, writing a detailed SIWES technical report that deserves a high grade comes with a lot of sacrifices, hard work, and determination.

As a student embarking on the SIWES programme, understanding the nuances of writing an excellent technical report is critical to your success. This comprehensive guide will help you through the entire process, including the structure, common mistakes to avoid, and tips for creating an outstanding report.

Table of Contents

Understanding the SIWES Technical Report

The report serves as documentation of your training experiences, challenges faced, and the knowledge gained during the SIWES programme. It allows you to demonstrate your understanding of theoretical ideas in practical applications, which your institution will evaluate and grade. Additionally, it provides valuable insights into the areas that may require improvement in the curriculum of the academic institution and the industry’s programmes.

Importance of the SIWES Technical Report

In addition to serving as a tangible log of your experiences and contributions during your industrial training, it also reflects your growth and development as a student in your chosen field.

Moreover, the SIWES report demonstrates your capacity for clear written communication. It showcases your proficiency in presenting data and findings, documenting technical information, and drawing insightful conclusions from your experiences. Employers highly value these skills and having them is crucial for success in whatever profession you’ve chosen.

Furthermore, the report offers an organised framework for assessing your performance during the SIWES programme and evaluates your understanding of the practical aspects of your field and your ability to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios.

Structure and Format of the SIWES Technical Report

A well-defined structure is essential for creating a superb report so that readers can easily navigate the content and understand the presented information. Below is how to organise your SIWES report to get an excellent grade.

The title page gives an overview of the report and should include essential details such as the report’s title, your name, department, institution, the name of the company where you underwent training, the duration of the training, and the date of submission.

Preliminary pages

Despite being the first sections of most academic reports in Nigeria, these sections are usually the last to be written. They consist of:

(A). Certification: This page certifies that the author was responsible for compiling the report duly signed by the student and his/her supervisor(s). It also contains the student’s full name, department, and/or matriculation/registration number in a testimony-like statement. 

(B). Dedication: The dedication section of your SIWES report briefly describes the person or people to whom the report is dedicated, whether they are living or deceased.

(C). Acknowledgement: You must have encountered individuals during your training who enhanced both your experience and the success of the SIWES programme. The acknowledgment section of your report should provide specific information about each member of this group, beginning with your supervisor(s) and lecturers.

(D). Table of contents: The table of contents lists the main sections and subsections of the report along with their respective page numbers. It serves as a roadmap for the reader, enabling easy navigation through the report.

(E). Abstract: Your SIWES report’s abstract not only serves as its front but also has a big impact on how well it gets graded. The abstract provides a succinct overview of the entire report, enabling the reader to grasp the main ideas without immediately getting bogged down in the details. It covers the introduction, aims and purpose of the Industrial experience, major findings, challenges encountered during the training, and possible solutions or recommendations.

• Introduction

As the name implies, the introduction page sets the stage for the SIWES report, outlining the objectives, scope, and significance of the industrial training. To prepare the reader for the in-depth discussion that follows, the student is expected to provide a concise summary of the report’s contents.

The main body of the SIWES technical report includes a detailed account of your industrial training experiences, tasks performed, challenges encountered, and the knowledge gained during the SIWES programme.

Each section should be logically arranged, addressing the specific aspects of your training and learning. Students should also include concrete evidence of their experiences, illustrative examples like graphs, and supporting evidence like pictures to increase the report’s credibility and comprehensiveness.

The SIWES report’s conclusion is just as significant as every other section. It summarises the major findings, insights gained, and the overall impact of industrial training on your development, both academically and professionally. It brings the report to a close and highlights the importance of the experiences shared.

To ensure the document’s credibility and academic integrity, the references section contains alphabetically arranged citations for all the sources cited in the report.

To strengthen the credibility of the report, you can compile additional details, such as raw data or technical drawings, on a separate page, known as the appendices. This section is optional.

Common Mistakes to Avoid in the SIWES Technical Report

When writing this report, students frequently make a few common errors. These errors may lower the report’s overall quality and prevent you from earning the grade you want. Knowing these typical mistakes will not only help you prevent them from happening but will also act as a guide for creating a report that will earn you an A+.

Lack of clarity and precision

One common mistake is the lack of clarity and precision in presenting training experiences and insights. Unclear descriptions can lessen the impact of the report and make it more difficult for the reader to understand your experiences. To prevent making this mistake and improve the quality of the SIWES report, ensure to use clear and concise language throughout the report to convey your experiences in a meaningful way.

Overlooking detailed descriptions

Another common error students make is undermining the importance of writing a comprehensive report. A detailed account of the experiences and projects you worked on during your SIWES program helps to convey the value of the industrial training and makes it an enjoyable read.

Lack of supporting evidence

It is common to overlook the need to include illustrations, pictures, and other supporting evidence in your SIWES report. However, this additional information will help substantiate your experiences and strengthen the credibility of your report.

Disregarding recommendations

In their haste to complete the final report and meet the submission deadline, students frequently neglect to incorporate suggestions for improvement or potential future implications derived from their experiences. The report’s recommendations add greater value because they demonstrate your ability to identify areas for development and work to keep the SIWES programme improving.

This book contains the technical report for the SIWES industrial training. It explains all that was done during the period of the SIWES. It also contains new knowledge and experience acquired by virtue of the industrial training. There are also some few suggestions as to who should be entitled to the industrial training being all students of tertiary institutions. The experience gained and knowledge acquired can never be got from any institution it has to be on the field and I think all students should have a feel of what work is like before going into it full time. Also it helps students to know where people in their field of study can work satisfactorily especially in their immediate environment. This report also contains the different equipment that was used to carry out jobs and also insight into the activities of the different departments in the company. Also included are photos and diagrams.

Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES), is a program designed by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) in 1973, with the view to bridge the gap that was observed between theory that students of tertiary institutions were exposed to in school and the practical knowledge that industries require for the students to be employable. The program provides an on-the-job practical experience for students, as they are exposed to work methods and techniques in handling equipment and machinery that may not be available in their Schools. This paper is a technical report of my experience in the field of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at IMEE Engineering Services Limited, Magodo, Lagos, Nigeria.
