BREAKING: Blackout worsens as national grid collapses

The national power grid has suffered another system collapse, which resulted in worsening the blackout in parts of the country.

The system collapse was said to have occurred around 11am on Wednesday and was confirmed by two of the country’s electricity distribution companies in two messages to their customers.

A message by Kaduna Electric on Twitter said, “We regret to inform you that the power outage currently being experienced across our franchise – Kaduna, Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara states – is as a result of the collapse of the national grid.”

Similarly, Eko Electricity Distribution Company Plc, in a message to its customers, said, “Dear customer, there is a partial system collapse on the national grid. Our TCN partners are working to restore supply immediately. Please bear with us.”
