Nigerians are sleeping in darkness as the country’s power transmission system collapses the second time in less than a month.
Media report suggests that the West African nation’s transmission system collapsed at about 1:00pm Monday.
The grid had, on July 28, 2021, suffered a total collapse, which the transmission company of Nigeria attributed to the loss of 611 megawatts at two power stations.
Eko Electricity Distribution Company, in a message to its customers on its Facebook page, said: “We regret to inform you of a system collapse on the national grid that’s causing outages across our network.
“We are working with our TCN partners to restore supply as soon as possible. Please bear with us.”
Kaduna Electricity said: “We sincerely apologise for the power outage in our franchise states which is due to a system collapse from the national grid. Supply shall be restored as soon as the grid is back up.
“We regret any inconvenience this may cause all our customers.”
