This essay helps to demistfy the hype surrounding 5G and presents a powerful boarding point as we try to grapple with 5G opportunities and challenges.

Students are attached to respective industries related to their course of study where they gain practical knowledge about their field of study.
This industrial training report presents the experience garnered during my industrial training undertaken at Tonimas Nigeria Limited (lube oil production plant). My training was on the production of lubricating oil, its processes; the various tests carried out on base oil and blended oil (raw material and finished product respectively) and to a reasonable extent the cost analysis involving formulations for production of the engine oil. During this period, I acquired practical knowledge on how to carry out these tests, its importance and so much more. This report discusses the technical skills gained during the training period and justifying the relevance of the scheme in equipping students with needed technical competence to thrive in the real world.

It is a new strain of coronavirus that has not been previously identified in humans.The first confirmed case of the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 in Nigeria was announced on 27 February 2020, when an Italian citizen in Lagos tested positive for the virus and more than two months later the numbers are astronomical with almost 3000 confirmed cases. Transportation sector contribution to Nigeria's GDP increased to 720.241millioninthethirdquarterof2019from720.241 million in the third quarter of 2019 from 720.241millioninthethirdquarterof2019from642.927 million in the second quarter of 2019 and contributed 2.49 percent to nominal GDP in Q1 2019, an increase from 1.85 percent recorded in the corresponding period of 2018, higher than 2.05 percent recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018, with the Federal Ministry of Transportation getting the third highest allocation of N123 billion in the 2020 budget, therefore importance of the sector as the gateway to the economy of nations cannot be overemphasised. However COVID-19 outbreak has suddenly impacted our way of life and that of our local, regional and global transportation industry, but this is our moment to use this as an opportunity to future proof our systems to be more flexible, equitable and resilient.
