Nigeria Faces Blackout as National Grid Collapses Again

Nigeria has been plunged into darkness following another system collapse of the national grid.

Power generation was lost on the morning of Wednesday, February 12, as sources within power generation companies confirmed a general grid disturbance.

The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company confirmed the grid collapse in a statement on its X handle on Wednesday.

The statement released by AEDC reads: “Dear Valued Customer, We regret to inform you that a system disturbance occurred on the national grid at 11:34 am today causing a power outage across our franchise areas.

“While gradual restoration of power supply has commenced, please be assured that we are working closely with relevant stakeholders to fully restore electricity as soon as the grid is stabilised. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to serve you better.”
