UCH raises alarm over debt, evokes mixed reactions amid blackout concerns

Some Nigerians have expressed mixed feelings over the current situation at the University College Hospital, UCH, Ibadan.

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.

DAILY POST reports that UCH, which was commissioned on 20th November, 1957, is the first teaching hospital in the country.

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.

Those who spoke with DAILY POST described the situation as worrisome, with some of them querying what the hospital was doing with the money being generated daily.
