The UCH spokesperson, Toye Akinrinola, who confirmed the scarcity of water in the hospital to journalists in Ibadan on Wednesday said it was due to rehabilitation of facilities in the hospital but refused to talk on the postponement of surgeries.

Akinrinola said: “It is true that water supply in UCH has been epileptic in recent weeks. We are overhauling the entire water system. In fact, 5 blocks in the hospital have been shut down for massive renovation. This hasn’t happened in 63 years.

“It is regrettable that our services are being disrupted, but in the next two weeks, we should be done with the renovation.”
