On Monday, Nov. 11, patients and their families held a protest at the University College Hospital in Ibadan, Oyo State, over an extended power outage and water shortage.
The protest followed a 17-day power cut by the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company due to outstanding 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! killing people. People are d¥ing here. The managers are thieves. We need light,” One of the protesters was heard saying.
