The President of Save A Life Foundation, Dr Richard Okoye, has lamented the huge electricity bill he recently got from the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution on his Rivers State hospital.
In a clip that went viral on Thursday, Okoye said his bill increased to N25,300,000 because he was on Band A.
According to him, the Federal Government’s decision to increase the band’s tariff, which he described as a ‘Band A tariff epidemic”,
to N225 kilowatt per hour from the current N66 would destroy the healthcare system of the country, adding that hospitals only render essential services and should not be seen as business centres.
He said, “By reason of us (the hospital) being in band A, our monthly power bill is now shooting up to N25,300,000.
That’s crazy; the hospitals are not business centres but only render essential services to society. This Band A tariff epidemic is bound to destroy the country’s healthcare system.
