- The nationwide outage occurred in the afternoon, leaving power consumers across the country in total darkness
Nigerians in Lagos, Abuja, and other major cities have been thrown into darkness as the national electricity grid collapsed again.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) confirmed this in a statement on Monday, December 11, 2023.
The nationwide outage occurred in the afternoon, leaving power consumers across the country in total darkness.
According to the statement signed by Ndidi Mbah, TCN’s spokesperson, the restoration of the national power grid is already ongoing.
Although Mbah said that power supply has already been restored in Abuja and a few other areas, but it was confirmed that the capital city is still in darkness as at the time of writing this report.
Today’s seizure marked the second collapse since mid-September when distribution firms nationwide reported unavailability of bulk electricity from federal infrastructure.
This comes days after the minister of power, Adebayo Adelabu, said the ministry will collaborate with state governments to address the challenges in the power sector and boost supply.
