A troubling video circulating online shows medical workers attending to a patient in near darkness at a hospital in Suleja, Niger State.

In the footage, believed to have been recorded during a power outage, nurses and other medical staff are seen using phone flashlights and torchlights to illuminate the ward while working around a patient on a hospital bed.

The shaky video captures the difficult conditions inside the dimly lit treatment area, as the workers try to carry out their duties with very little visibility.

Voices speaking Hausa can be heard in the background, though it is not clearly understood what is being said.

The clip has generated reactions online, with many Nigerians expressing concern about the challenges facing some public healthcare facilities.

And some people that are hell bound are telling us to relax, that Tinubu is fixing Nigeria.

What if the hospital is under the state governor?

How about Tinubu that has failed to give us light? Is he also expecting everyone to install solar light?

This is really shameful.

what's now the essence of removing fuel subsidy then? After all we were told that once subsidy is removed, there will be enough money to fix infrastructure

Once again shame on the governor of niger state.

Pray you don't have an emergency in Nigeria, it is then you will know that Nigeria stopped working 30 year's ago.

How can a reasonable person campaign for this government? Tell me one dividend of democracy we are enjoying with this government that will make me vote it again. I'm so sad to see some elders that suppose to be a beacon of progress selling their rights for a pot of porridge. Nobody can tell the truth or say the right things. They have all being silent with money. Masses are as well collecting token at the expense of their well being. Tinubu is not doing well at all.

Wahala for Nigeria so no back up Generator?

Weting concern the president, my guy don put solar for ASO ROCK, all man for himself.

Nah only person God want make him survive
Nah him fit survive

Even Aso Rock is going solar.
Any hope for PHCN?

Maybe these people in government knows what we don't

It’s not a new thing!!! And we all know that already!!!

It surprises me when tinubu goes abroad looking for foreign investors. Like you don't have common electricity and you are looking for people to set up factories in your country

l blamed lord lugard




for building Nigeria to




one

Why are we Nigerian so wicked to ourselves? What happened to the budget assigned to running the hospital? What happened to all the money the hospital management get from the patient they treated? Why can't the management of the hospital put the money into used as part of maintenance for the hospital? All the names that they wants to drive the latest cars, live in the latest building, divert the money for personal use!.

They have forgotten that they will visit the hospital whenever they fall sick.

Why can't they install solar to that place.

it's very unfortunate seriously.

In a working country, this should trigger an investigation by the house of assembly.

The hospital management will be invited to understand why they aren't able to afford alternative energy like generators or solar panel systems. They will explain exactly the cost of maintaining such operations and why they can’t afford it.

Standards Organization and Ministry of Health will be invited to understand if they have standards and operating procedures for healthcare organizations that was missed or needs to be followed here.

Power ministry will be invited to understand what steps they have taken to improve power supply

By the time the investigation is over, Nigerians will understand exactly what is happening in the system.

Stephen0mozzy:
But it's not everything we'll call government for. Hospital bills are not cheap! So why can't they install solar setup - even if just for bulbs and fan.

Patient care mehn. Let's not justify poor standards. Patient care is a business.

The hospital has an administrator, and that person should be fired if they're not strategic enough to route IGR into bettering the facilities.

Everytime y'all will try to exenorate government and start mentioning solar.

Fact is, an average Nigerian hospital is just a human abattoir.

press9jatv:
it's very unfortunate seriously.

Sometimes, I wonder what are the main functions of the hospital management. Well, I don't blame them. Some of the stolen money - some of them use it to build private hospitals and they will referred patients to go there for proper treatment.

Obodo Naija hospital na mortuary

Tinubu himself said that nobody should vote him in 2027 if there's no steady power in the country

All these chants for solar energy by the South west now amazes me, we can't continue to excuse bad government

Ordinarily our neighbors here in Africa can boast of steady power, it should be a shame to Nigeria

Look at a hospital in 2026
no wonder Buhari died in London
Tinubu should know that nobody lives forever
