The management of the College of Medicine of the University of Lagos (CMUL) and the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) have cried out over what they described as an outrageous electricity bill charged by Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) for May.
The healthcare institutions said they were recently jointly presented with a bill of about N280 million for May instead of the less than N100 million they used to pay.
Due to the disagreement over the bill, for about 10 days between June and July, electricity to the two health institutions was disconnected, leading to a protest by medical students who said the poor power supply could lead to their failure in the forthcoming examinations.
