Sitting on approximately 220 acres of land mass, one of the largest premier teaching hospitals in Nigeria, the University College Hospital , Ibadan, is currently at loggerhead with the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company , over a N495m electricity debt accumulated over three years, Channels Television can authoritatively report.
