The tertiary health institution is currently in total darkness after it was disconnected from the national grid by Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) on Tuesday, 19th March, 2024.

This is as the hospital has cried out for help, saying it was overburdened by the financial challenges.

It also blamed the high debt burden on successive administrations, who left unpaid electricity bills to the tune of N328m.

Makes me think of all the Ministries, Departments and Agencies and government parastatals that have been using electricity without paying, and the fact that power sellers would make up as much as they lose by charging it to other power users like you and still not have enough to invest in providing the energy we need.

I, once learnt this hospital charges patients for electricity usage. how come they can't pay electricity bills?
