The management of the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Oyo State, has mandated each patient to pay N1,000 daily for electricity supply in order to cushion the biting effects of increase in the price of electricity tariffs and diesel used to power generating plants by the hospital.

The hospital in an internal memo circulated on June 21, obtained by our correspondent, said the high cost of electricity tariffs and increasing price of diesel were behind the decision to compel the patients to shoulder the cost of power supply at the tertiary health facility.
