The national grid, Nigeria’s primary source of electricity, collapsed again on Saturday morning for the third time within one week, with the power generation falling to zero MW.
Blackouts were reported in the nation’s capital, Abuja, Lagos, and other states in the country, and there is no official reaction yet from the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).
Chronicle NG had on Wednesday reported that the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) announced that supply had been restored to the Abuja axis and other major distribution load centres nationwide after the national grid collapsed on Monday.
TCN General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, had disclosed this in a statement, adding that ongoing restoration of the national grid was still ongoing and almost completed.
Also, Chronicle NG reported on Monday that the national grid collapsed, triggering a nationwide blackout as distribution companies declared a lack of supply to their customers.
TCN also confirmed the development, stating that the national grid experienced a partial disturbance on Monday, 14th October 2024, at about 6:48 pm.
