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.

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.

According to reports, students from the University of Ibadan staged a peaceful protest early Wednesday morning to express their dissatisfaction with the situation at the hospital.

Our correspondent, who is monitoring the procession, reports that the students were led by the President of the Students’ Union, SU, Bolaji Aweda.

Aweda stated that students of the institution have been directly affected.

“We are protesting against what is happening. And, of course, our students are affected.

“For 82 days, there has been no light at UCH, and this is due to the inability of UCH to pay its electricity bill to IBEDC.

“IBEDC has demanded that UCH settle its debt before they will restore power,” he said.
