The outgoing Medical Director of Federal Medical Centre, Ebute Metta, Dr Adedamola Dada, said the hospital had been paying a N20 million monthly electricity bill for just three hours of daily public power supply.
According to him, this extraordinary expense has led the facility to consume 80,000 litres of diesel monthly to maintain an uninterrupted power supply for critical health care services.
Dada revealed this information at a media gathering on Saturday, where he highlighted the hospital’s achievements and challenges.
