Some patients and their families are protesting the unavailability of water and electricity at the University College Hospital in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The aggrieved protesters lamented that the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company, IBEDC disconnected UCH’s power for 17 days.
The disconnect is said to have affected vital hospital operations like delays in test results and surgeries, among others.
Reacting, the hospital management said the hospital falls under the “Band A” electricity tariff structure, which requires them to pay N80 million monthly.
In a viral video obtained, some patients were heard saying: “UCH don’t kill us, we want light. You people want to destroy the prestige of UCH, it’s a premium hospital.”
