Lagos Hospital Pays N20m Monthly For Three Hours Electricity

The Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Ebute Metta, has been grappling with crippling energy costs, spending as much as N20m monthly on electricity despite receiving just three hours of public power daily.

Outgoing Medical Director, Dr Adedamola Dada, revealed this during a media briefing held to reflect on the hospital’s achievements and ongoing challenges.

According to Dada, the hospital has had to rely heavily on diesel-powered generators, consuming up to 80,000 litres of diesel each month to ensure uninterrupted power.

This has been crucial to maintaining operations in a facility that now runs 95 per cent of its electricity independently.

“We are the only federal public hospital that receives a two-to-three-hour supply of public power, but we provide 24 hours of power because we are automated and can’t function without power,” Dada explained.

He added that transitioning to an automated system raised concerns due to Nigeria’s erratic electricity supply, but the hospital implemented a power solution that allowed it to generate 22 hours of electricity daily over the past seven years.

Although the cost has strained the hospital’s finances, Dada said it was a necessary investment to ensure quality healthcare delivery.

Despite the challenges, FMC Ebute Metta has received widespread recognition.

In 2022, the Health Facilities Monitoring and Accreditation Agency named it the most compliant and standard hospital in Lagos State.

More recently, the Bureau of Public Service Reform, under the Presidency, recognised the centre as a leader in ICT integration in the public health sector.
