Shock As Patients Bring Generators To UCH For Treatment
By Gideon Ayeni
The University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan has reportedly been in darkness since October 26, 2024, forcing patients to bring their own generators and solar inverters to receive medical care.
Reports circulating on social media claim that the federal government-owned UCH has been struggling with power supply issues for months, leaving critical medical services disrupted. Patients and their families have resorted to personal power sources to ensure life-saving treatments continue.

In response to the crisis, the Oyo State Government acknowledged the situation in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating:
“Thank you for contacting us. The Oyo State Government is aware of the power supply challenges at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan. Although the facility is managed by the federal government, the OYSG plans to connect UCH to the State’s Independent Power Plant (IPP) as a medium-term solution.”
The prolonged power outage has sent the social media abuzz, with many questioning the state of healthcare infrastructure in the country. While the Oyo State Government’s intervention offers hope, patients and medical professionals at UCH continue to struggle with the impact of the ongoing blackout.
