National Grid Collapses as Blackout Worsens Across the Country

The national power grid on Wednesday suffered another system collapse, resulting in worsening the blackout in parts of the country.

A message by Kaduna Electric said: “We regret to inform you that the power outage currently being experienced across our franchise – Kaduna, Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara states – is as a result of the collapse of the national grid.”

Similarly, Eko Electricity Distribution Company Plc, in a message to its customers, said, “Dear customer, there is a partial system collapse on the national grid. Our TCN partners are working to restore supply immediately. Please bear with us.”

It was gathered that power grid collapse occurred around 11.00 am on Wednesday and was confirmed by two of the country’s electricity distribution companies in two messages to their customers.

The Transformation Company of Nigeria (TCN) has also confirmed the development and urges Nigerians to remain calm as it is making efforts to restore power across the country.
