The Eko Electricity Distribution Company has announced that the power supply has been restored.

There was a widespread blackout across the country following the total collapse of Nigeria’s electricity grid early Thursday morning.

PUNCH earlier reported that the grid collapsed totally around 12:40 a.m. on September 14, 2023, leading to the massive loss of supply to power distributors nationwide.

Multiple sources in the power sector, as well as electricity distribution companies, confirmed the development to our correspondent on Thursday morning.
