Enhancing Students' Work Experience Through the Engagement of Small and Medium Enterprises
(Journal of Arts, Science and Technology, 2022) Olayiwola Olorisade; Afolabi S.O.
This paper unveiled the major challenges being faced by Nigerian students during their engagement in Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES). It explores a better way of improving students' engagement in the Work Experience Scheme by involving small and medium enterprises to provide entrepreneurial exposure and business mentorship. Although the Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) has offered many Nigerian students the required exposure to practical work experience, some have not benefited from it. Some of the reasons for this include the increased student population in Nigerian tertiary institutions, the inability of industries to absorb all students due to limited spaces, and the inability to pay the required stipend. Other problems include the wrong placement of students for the exercise. This paper proffered strategies for providing a more robust programme of engagement that would promote entrepreneurial spirit and skills required by students to establish personal ventures and succeed at it at the end of their academic pursuit. The programme will provide opportunities to capture all that the students are required to go for SIWES in a more appropriate setting and provide rich collaboration between Small and Medium Enterprises (SME'S) and educational institutions in Nigeria.

(Kwara State University Press and Publishing, 2024) Olayiwola Olorisade
Institutional administration is the act of managing activities in institutions of learning, towards achieving educational goals; while rule of law is considered as fundamental concepts that underpins the functioning of democratic institutions, which promotes just and equitable society. This paper reveals that the process involves the coordination of resources, with the human resource being the most complex, requiring administrators to motivate and relate with them impartially by following due process and ensuring their right to fair treatment. The paper considered the components of effective institutional administration to include; skill demonstration, clear rules and regulations, transparency, accountability and professionalism. It further considered the elements of the rule of law to encompass legal certainty, accountability, transparency, equalisation of treatment, and effective dispute resolution mechanism. The experience during the tenure of late Professor M.M. Akanbi showcased an administrator, who was transparent, constantly emphasising obedience to institutional regulations, frowned at molestation of staff and students by anyone, and engaged institutional community members in decision making and in the formulation of new regulations. The late Vice-Chancellor showed himself a good listener, team player and a leader, who does not muzzle staff and students. He demonstrated accountability, transparency, professionalism in handling administrative tasks, and he did not compromise on matters of law, as he promoted an institution, where laws are respected, rights protected and justice served to all members of the KWASU community.

Nigeria is plagued with poverty, unemployment and poor response of youth to entrepreneurship. Government at all levels had employed varying measures to reduce unemployment and promote youth involvement in entrepreneurship; but this had yielded little result due to the lateness in intervention and the non-consideration of children's interest in entrepreneurial engagement.
