Nationwide system collapse affects power supply in Aba, as utility company apologises

ACCORDING to sources at the National Control Centre at Oshogbo in Osun State who did not want their names mentioned in the media because they are not authorised to speak to the public, the national grid collapsed at 13.49 pm.

The sources provided no information on the cause of the system failure or when power is expected to be restored.

Meanwhile, Aba Power Ltd has notified consumers in its ring-fenced area covering nine local government areas in Abia State it services of the development.
