Nursing Mothers Block Hospital Gate Over Babies’ Death Due To Outage by Judasjudas(m): 7:49am On Mar 14, 2017
Nursing mothers yesterday barricaded the entrance into the Braithwaite Memorial Specialist Hospital (BMSH), Rivers State apex hospital, over power outage, which they alleged led to the death of two babies in the Children’s Ward.
The protesters later proceeded to the Government House, Port Harcourt, to register their anger.

Mother of a 21-day-old baby, Joshua Yamunoshi, claimed that her child was in good health when the light was on but was confirmed dead after three hours of power outage in the hospital.
Many of the workers declined commenting on the situation but a senior member of staff, who did not want to be mentioned, disclosed that the hospital was not connected to the national grid due to a fault at a nearby substation, adding that the hospital has only two generating sets and one has broken down due to constant use while the only one serving the hospital was switched off at intervals to avoid a possible breakdown.
Narrating how the two babies died, he said: “Both babies were premature. The first one was born with a very low birth rate, but died due to low temperature. The second baby died due to extreme premature birth.”

Horrible indeed.

Any president that will restore uninterrupted electricity supply in Nigeria will be the best and always d best Nigeria.

If I'm to be the president my aim will be to restore electricity and after that I will resign.
