National Grid Collapses Again, Nigeria Faces Widespread Power Outage

Nigeria has been plunged into darkness following yet another collapse of the national electricity grid on Wednesday afternoon.

This latest incident comes just weeks after a series of grid failures in October, despite the Federal Government’s repeated assurances of finding a permanent solution to the ongoing power crisis.

Social media posts from various users on X confirmed the collapse, which occurred around 2:06 PM. One user wrote, “A major grid setback has occurred, and efforts to restore power are underway.”

As of the time of this report, authorities were working to restore power to the affected regions. Details regarding the cause of the collapse and updates on the restoration process were expected to be provided soon by the relevant agencies.
