Reacting to the development, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) attributed the latest collapse of the national grid to “a series of lines and generators tripping.
In a statement, the General Manager of TCN, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, said the partial disturbance was experienced about 1:52pm.
She, however, said data from the National Control Centre (NCC) revealed that a part of the grid was not affected by the bulk power disruption.
“TCN engineers are already working to quickly restore bulk power supply to the states affected by the partial disturbance. Presently, bulk power supply has been restored to Abuja, at 2.49pm, and we are gradually restoring to other parts of the country.”
“We sincerely apologize for every inconvenience this may cause our electricity customers.”
