Audu Ogbe who was the PDP Chairman for years is a Minister in Buhari's administration.

when did torch lights and phone lights become drugs or therapy?

rather say you consult with torch lights , shikenah!

Back to the matter.
Thunder go fire anybody wey chop money meant for the betterment of patients.
Which 19million are u spending every month?

FG budgets 16M for fueling for a 24hr stable electricity monthly. Meanwhile you don't power your generators for 24 hrs.
IBEDC still supply electricity once a while, and the generators don't run at these times.

The main generator and most others are down at the moment due to lack of servicing. True or False?
You mean you spend the whole 16m every month? Haba.

It will cost just 40M to link up with Ganmo's 33Kv substation.
Why not do that?

EFCC and GOD is watching.

Sometimes, surgeries are completed with the aid of light from torchlight and phones.

You are an unfortunate fellow who should be tied to a big stone and thrown into the ocean. You're here arguing about extant facts and situations and figures. Our govt teaching hospitals are death valleys due to gross underfunding and neglect from successive governments and this is all u can say in a bid to defend APC? You're hopelessly silly angry

This was meant to be read by sensible people.

Dont mind the theiving idiots.
They spend N16m monthly to power a 500KVA and a 350KVA? They are criminals.
My institution (a federal tertiary institution) runs more than 25 generators. At least half of that number is running at any given time. Yet we dont spend up to 8m monthly on diesel.

Government fooling its self but the hospital management fooling themselves the most. Who do they think they are deceiving or they forget Nigerians are more enlightened. Any hospital coming out to say they who lamps for surgery ought to be shut and management probe.
The union is just telling us how incompetent most of d CMDs are in terms of their managerial skills.
These patient pay huge fee for major surgeries and operations, we know how much of IGR hospitals generates yet they can't fuel a generator set for a 4hour procedure. I believe there are some linen that aren't meant to be washed in public.

God bless you real good. 16million divide by 30days is 533333.33333naira, that's how much the CMD is telling us that the hospital spends on electricity (aside PHCN) daily, yet the doctors are saying they conduct surgeries with lantern.
Nigerians being who we are just swallowed that and started blaming Buhari, APC, PDP GEJ etc, when are we ever going to grow brains in this country? That CMD needs to be fired and thoroughly questioned by EFCC.
A facility spending that much daily on electricity that still complains about darkness and could only provide power for 4hrs needs all her managerial staff arrested.

Doctors managing the hospitals and still allowed to operate their own private hospitals is the first problem of the health sector #IMO

Do they even need to link up with ganmo?

They only need to connect with PS and that is it.

Distance to PS is like 1/10th of the distance to ganmo. So, which one is more cost-effective?

They won't even need to spend so much to connect to PS; there is already a direct and motorable road from UITH to PS. Only buy poles and cable and the rest will be history.
Will they ever have to spend up to 50M on the project? I Dont think so.

Following the ongoing nationwide strike of doctors, the immediate past president of the Association of Resident Doctors, University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital(UITH) branch, Dr. Oyinlola Oluwagbemiga and his successor, Dr. Ade Faponle, on Wednesday said that due to epileptic power supply in the hospital, doctors use lamps, torchlight and phone lights to treat patients. Oluwagbemiga and Faponle spoke during a media briefing in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital. According to Oluwagbemiga, “There are certain procedures we embark upon, you have to complete them using your torchlight or phone lights. Imagine that you are in an emergency where you have to resuscitate a patient and you resort to that. It is that bad. It even stretches to sanitation.We have reached the point where you are having a major procedure and all you can hear is ‘please we can only supply light for the next two hours, make sure you complete your operation.’ And there are operations that last for four or more hours. So if you have such, you have to reschedule because you have been told ab-initio that you are on your own should you embark on such.”



The Director of Administration, UITH, Mr. Ganiyu Yusuf however said the management of the hospital spent about N16m monthly on diesel and N3m monthly on electricity bill to the Ibadan Distribution Electricity Company. Yusuf said, “As management, we are not going to join issues with the resident doctors. But we are going to state the facts. It is not news that electricity generation in the country is bad. The problem affects everybody, not only the hospital. We spend N16m monthly to buy diesel. We have a 500KV generator and another 350kv generator, as well as many other smaller generators to power each unit and department. The N16m that we pay is different from the N3m that we pay to IBEDC every month. Imagine what N19m could have done, if we had steady power supply in the country. We have done what we could do as a management with the resources available. We have separate generators for many sections. If you turn on the light in the hospital because of the operations the doctors will do, we keep it running until 4pm. Even when the power is on, how many of the doctors are ready to perform surgeries? If we know that in our area power will come at a certain time, you programme your activities. We lost three people in an attempt to stabilise the power supply. One of them was electrocuted and another dropped in water. What we are trying to do is to link up with the university and take power from Ganmo. Imagine the huge cost.”

I don't usually do this but the CMD sounds more like a th!êf to me. If only EFCC/ICPC could focus their searchlight on the management of public hospitals. It's bad enough that the facilities are under funded, worse of is the fact that the little fund allocated to the health sector is looted with reckless abandon evidenced by this CMD testimony. #533333.3333 daily on electricity alone yet no light in the facility? Gosh!!!

I didn't read the whole write up but looking at the title, I will say that it is almost all Nigerians that are involved in wrecking Nigeria, the leaders and the followers, the rich and the poor, old and young, educated ones and the illiterates, men and women... So let each person first, then each family, each labour union like doctors, nurses and lecturers and so check himself or herself and themselves and do things right before we will be expecting any change in any aspect of our lives in Nigeria.

The truth of the matter is that

1.Power supply is not working. And it won't work until we get the money to make it work, which in Nigeria would now have to come from our pockets (because decades of it being run by government led to corruption and more corruption).

2.Health care in Nigeria is not well funded. And the only way to improve it is by raising hospital fees, and by raising taxes.Even if oil jumps up again. The idea that you can fund something from selling raw materials whose prices you do not control is at best ridiculous.
the problem is not about more money is about managing and utilizing the one already in fluxed into that sector for optimum output

These mumus think they can get a free pass on the ignorance of most Nigerians abi? Nobody wants Nigeria to work; they think Nigeria is a massive cow for them to milk to death without feeding it. They say they spend 16 and 3 millions on electricity every MONTH and yet we hear they carry out operations with torchlight. Oya no wahala nau, I'm an alternative energy entrepreneur who can't find a client. I give them an open challenge on here: give me just one year's money on electricity (19m X 12 = 228m) and I promise you will always have electricity in your hospital, day and night for the next 10 years. Isn't that a good deal? I DARE THEM. Hypocrites! All Nigerians are potential thieves

The more reason if the NMA is screaming PPP it should begin at home and not away. Charity they say begins at home, the Wards and theatres should be privatised to curb this torchlight thing. Rather dan dem clamouring for the theatres and wards to be privatised dey are shouting privatisation should start from pharmaceutical and Laboratory services.

It's easier to privatise all dats exactly what Rochas did and it didn't backfire and the Imo NMA protested against it. Now the question is do the saying what is good for the geese is no longer good for the gander? If I must support PPP den it has to start from the Wards and theatres down through works and services. If it's not achievable den NO to it wink cool
