Hundreds of students from the University of Ibadan in Oyo State have staged a peaceful protest against the 82-day power outage at the University College Hospital, UCH, Ibadan.
Charmingpro reports that UCH is the teaching hospital where medical students from UI are trained.
Our correspondent learned that UCH has been experiencing a power outage for the past year due to debts owed to the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company, IBEDC.
IBEDC cut off the power supply to the hospital in March 2024 due to unpaid electricity bills.
The electricity distribution company also disconnected the hospital’s power supply in November 2023 for the same reason.
Our correspondent learned that the power supply has still not been restored
