Nigeria Plunged Into Darkness as National Grid Collapses Again
Nigerians were left without electricity on Wednesday, February 12, following another collapse of the national grid.
Sources from power generation companies confirmed a widespread grid disturbance that led to a loss of power supply across the country.
The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) acknowledged the situation in a statement on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, confirming that the grid collapse occurred at 11:34 a.m.
“Dear Valued Customer, we regret to inform you that a system disturbance occurred on the national grid at 11:34 a.m. today, causing a power outage across our franchise areas,” the statement read.
AEDC assured customers that power restoration efforts were underway, stating, “While gradual restoration of supply has commenced, please be assured that we are working closely with relevant stakeholders to fully restore electricity as soon as the grid is stabilized.”
The latest grid collapse adds to the series of power disruptions Nigeria has faced, highlighting ongoing challenges in the country’s electricity supply system.
