Nigeria suffers another power grid collapse

The national grid collapsed today for the second time in three months, plunging parts of the country into total darkness.

The system collapse occurred around 3:05pm.

“The current outage is as a result of a system collapse of the national grid,” Ikeja Electric, one of the distribution companies in the country, said in a message to its customers. “The power system stakeholders are working to restore supply as soon as possible. Please bear with us.”
