CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is a skill training program designed to expose and prepare students of higher institution of learning for the industrial work situations they are likely to meet after graduation. The scheme was designed to expose students to industrial environment and enable them develop occupational competencies so that they can readily contribute their quota to national economic and technological development after graduation. The Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) was established by the industrial Training Fund in (ITF) 1973 to enable students of tertiary institution have basic technical knowledge of industrial works base on their course of study before the completion of their program in their respective institutions and also to solve the problem of lack of adequate practical skills in preparation for employment in industries by Nigerian graduates of tertiary institutions. The major background behind the embarkment of students in SIWES was to expose them to the industrial environment and enable them develop occupational competences so that they can readily contribute their quota to national economic and technological development after graduation

1.1 HISTORY OF MORTAYUS GROUP 0F COMPANY
Company Profile
Mortayus Group 0f Company is located at Oje-Owode, Oyo State.
It is headed by Mr. Omede Clement who is the director and manager of the establishment. The company has 24 staff with two assistant managers inclusive working as staff directors.
The size of the company would be approximately double the size of FANS Hall. It is made up of the following units.
The production unit, in charge of production of the gin. The processing unit in charge of filtering, filling and corking the dry gin to its consumable state. The store/packaging unit in charge of packing finished/ready dry gin into bottles. The Director is in charge of the marketing unit. I worked in all the units of the company, especially in the production unit, processing and packaging unit.

1.2 Objective of SIWES
SIWES is aimed at providing skills for students in their various fields. Some of the various objectives why the program was put in place are.
1. To give the Nigerian student acquired skills industrially to perform in their field of study.
2. To enlighten, the students on how to use machinery heavy equipment available in the universities.
3. To give them the knowledge of what they are likely to face in their fields in future.
4. It enhances job transaction within the universities and its environs.
5. It strengthens employers to participate in the educational process.
6. To provide students with ample opportunities to apply the theoretical knowledge in real work situation.
7. To provide an opportunity for students in Nigeria Universities to get acquainted with Industrial Skills and experience in their course of study.
8. To make the transition from the university to the labour market easier and as well enhance students contacts for later job.
9. To prepare students for the work situation they are likely to meet after graduation.
Therefore the success or otherwise of the SIWES depends on the efficiency of the Ministries, ITF, Institution, Employers of labour and the general public involves in the articulation and management of the program. Thus the evaluation of SIWES in tertiary institutions in meeting up with the needs for the establishment of the program is necessary.

1.3 ITF MISSION STATEMENT ITF was established in 1971, the Industrial Training Fund has operated consistently and painstakingly within the context of its enabling laws (Akerejola, 2006) i.e. Decree 47 of 1971.

CHAPTER TWO 2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW What is Gin? Gin is a spirit which derives its predominant flavour from juniper berries (Juniperus communis). From its earliest origins in the Middle Ages, gin has evolved over the course of a millennium from a herbal medicine to an object of commerce in the spirits industry. Gin was developed on the basis of the older Jenever, and became widely popular in Great Britain when William of Orange, leader of the Dutch Republic, occupied the British throne with his wife Mary. Today, the gin category is one of the most popular and widely distributed range of spirits, and is represented by products of various origins, styles, and flavour profiles that all revolve around juniper as a common ingredient. HISTORY The Dutch physician Franciscus Sylvius is often credited with the invention of gin in the mid 17th century, although the existence of genever is confirmed in Massinger's play The Duke of Milan (1623), when Dr. Sylvius would have been but nine years of age. It is further claimed that British soldiers who provided support in Antwerp against the Spanish in 1585, during the Eighty Years' War, were already drinking genever for its calming effects before battle, from which the term Dutch Courage is believed to have originated.[7] The earliest known written reference to genever appears in the 13th century encyclopaedic work Der Naturen Bloeme (Bruges), and the earliest printed genever recipe from 16th century work Een Constelijck Distileerboec (Antwerp). By the mid 17th century, numerous small Dutch and Flemish distillers (some 400 in Amsterdam alone by 1663) had popularized the re-distillation of malt spirit or malt wine with juniper, anise, caraway, coriander, etc., which were sold in pharmacies and used to treat such medical problems as kidney ailments, lumbago, stomach ailments, gallstones, and gout. Gin emerged in England in varying forms as of the early 17th century, and at the time of the Restoration, enjoyed a brief resurgence. When William of Orange, ruler of the Dutch Republic, occupied the British throne with his wife Mary in what has become known as the Glorious Revolution, gin became vastly more popular,[10] particularly in crude, inferior forms, where it was more likely to be flavoured with turpentine as an alternative to juniper.
Gin became popular in England after the Government allowed unlicensed gin production and at the same time imposed a heavy duty on all imported spirits. This created a market for poor-quality grain that was unfit for brewing beer, and thousands of gin-shops sprang up throughout England, a period known as the Gin Craze. Because of the relative price of gin, when compared with other drinks available at the same time and in the same geographic location, gin became popular with the poor. Of the 15,000 drinking establishments in London, not including coffee shops and drinking chocolate shops, over half were gin shops. Beer maintained a healthy reputation as it was often safer to drink the brewed ale than unclean plain water. Gin, though, was blamed for various social problems, and it may have been a factor in the higher death rates which stabilized London's previously growing population. The reputation of the two drinks was illustrated by William Hogarth in his engravings Beer Street and Gin Lane (1751). This negative reputation survives today in the English language, in terms like "gin mills" or the American phrase "gin joints" to describe disreputable bars or "gin-soaked" to refer to drunks, and in the phrase "mother's ruin", a common British name for gin. The Gin Act 1736 imposed high taxes on retailers and led to riots in the streets. The prohibitive duty was gradually reduced and finally abolished in 1742. The Gin Act 1751 was more successful, however; It forced distillers to sell only to licensed retailers and brought gin shops under the jurisdiction of local magistrates. Gin in the 18th century was produced in pot stills, and was somewhat sweeter than the London gin known today.
In London in the early 18th century, much gin was distilled legally in residential houses (there were estimated to be 1,500 residential stills in 1726) and was often flavoured with turpentine to generate resinous woody notes in addition to the juniper.[13] As late as 1913, Webster's Dictionary states without further comment, " 'common gin' is usually flavoured with turpentine". Another common variation was to distil in the presence of sulphuric acid. Although the acid itself does not distil, it imparts the additional aroma of diethyl ether to the resulting gin. Sulphuric acid subtracts one water molecule from two ethanol molecules to create diethyl ether, which also forms an azeotrope with ethanol, and therefore distils with it. The result is a sweeter spirit, and one that may have possessed additional analgesic/intoxicating effects . Dutch or Belgian gin, also known as jenever or genever, evolved from malt wine spirits, and is a distinctly different drink from later styles of gin. Schiedam, a city in the province of South Holland, is famous for its jenever-producing history. The oude (old) style of jenever remained very popular throughout the 19th century, where it was referred to as "Holland" or "Geneva" gin in popular, American, pre-Prohibition bartender guides. The 19th century gave rise to a style of gin referred to as Old Tom Gin, which is a softer, sweeter style of gin, often containing sugar. Old Tom gin faded in popularity by the early 20th century. The invention and development of the column still (1826–31) made the distillation of neutral spirits practical, thus enabling the creation of the "London dry" style that evolved later in the 19th century.In tropical British colonies gin was used to mask the bitter flavour of quinine, which was the only effective anti-malarial compound. Quinine was dissolved in carbonated water to form tonic water; the resulting mix became the origin of today's popular gin and tonic combination, although modern tonic water contains only a trace of quinine as a flavouring. Gin is a popular base spirit for many classic mixed drinks, including the martini. Secretly produced "bathtub gin" was commonly available in the speakeasies and "blind pigs" of Prohibition-era America as a result of the relative simple production. Gin has remained popular as the basis of many cocktails after the repeal of the American Prohibition. Sloe gin is traditionally described as a liqueur made by infusing sloes (the fruit of the blackthorn) in gin, although modern versions are almost always compounded from neutral spirits and flavourings. Similar infusions are possible with other fruits, such as damsons or beach plums.
