Tuesday, November 12, 2024 -Patients and their families staged a protest at the University College Hospital in Ibadan, Oyo State on Monday, Nov. 11, over prolonged electricity outage and water shortages.
The protest comes after a 17-day power disconnection by the Ibadan
Electricity Distribution Company due to unpaid bills.
The hospital is being billed under the "band A" tariff
structure, resulting in a monthly bill of N80million.
The lack of power supply has affected essential services at the
hospital, including surgeries, diagnostic tests, and other critical medical
procedures.
A video shared by Oyo Affairs on X shows patients and their families
gathered at the hospital to express their frustration.
“Stop k!lling people. People are d¥ing here. The managers are thieves.
We need light,” One of the protesters was heard saying.
