BREAKING: UCH MEDICAL STUDENTS PROTEST 100 DAYS WITHOUT POWER
Medical students at the University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan, Oyo State, are currently staging a protest at the office of the Chief Medical Director (CMD) due to the lack of power and water supply.
Meanwhile, Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu and CMD Jesse Otegbayo are meeting with stakeholders at the institution’s Conference Room to discuss a solution to the ongoing power supply issues.
UCH has been without electricity since October 2024, marking over 100 days as of Monday.
The students displayed placards with different inscriptions such as, “+100 Days of Darkness: Save UCH; Save ABH Hall; Save Falade Hall; Give Us Light; This Is Not How We Want To Live; Medical School Is Hard Enough- Give Us Light; All We Are Saying, Give Us Light among others.”
Samuel said, “No light, no water. We shall continue this protest until our demands are met.”
Omotunde stated, “We protested on January 26, 2025, to the State and Federal Secretariats, Agodi, Ibadan, with the hope that the management will restore it but up till now, nothing was done. And that’s why we decided after 100 days to protest over non-availability of power.”
