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.
