LASUTH to get 3 new generators from LASG

By Dayo Badmus, 

Lagos state government has approved the purchase of 3 new generators to boost power generation at the state Hospital, LASUTH.

According to a release signed by the Chief Medical Director at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH.

The release in full:

‘We wish to apprise our many clients of the current power challenge in our hospital,  LASUTH.

LASUTH is powered via the Mainland Independent Power Project. In the recent past, the supply from this company had been epileptic. The reason usually given is lack of gas supply to power its turbines.

The supply to the hospital had been off since Thursday 24th of February, 2022. The hospital’s service areas had since then been powered by generators. Sometimes, due to the age of the generators, power supply has had to be rationed.

As we speak,  there is still no supply from IPP and our information is that there will be none until Monday 28th February 2022.

Mr. Governor,  Mr. Babajide Sanwoolu,  in recognition of the acute need of reliable,  alternative power supply recently approved the purchase of 3 brand new 500 kva generators which will be installed next week.

We will continue to try and cover as many parts of the hospital as possible with our generators while this outage lasts. We ask for a little patience from our clients.  We are working assiduously to restore normalcy.

Prof. Adetokunbo O.  Fabamwo,

Chief Medical Director
