In a significant setback for Nigeria’s power supply, the National Grid has collapsed once again, resulting in a complete blackout across the country. As of 8:27 AM today, the Distribution Load Profile data indicated that all electricity distribution companies, including Abuja Disco, Benin Disco, Eko Disco, Enugu Disco, Ibadan Disco, Ikeja Disco, Jos Disco, Kaduna Disco, Kano Disco, PHarcourt Disco, and Yola Disco, recorded a load allocation of zero megawatts (MW).
This latest failure highlights ongoing challenges within the nation’s power infrastructure, raising concerns about reliability and efficiency. Stakeholders are calling for urgent action from authorities to address the systemic issues that have led to repeated grid failures.
Details on the cause of the collapse are yet to be released, but experts warn that without immediate intervention, the situation could worsen, affecting businesses and households across Nigeria.
The National Grid’s inability to maintain stability continues to hamper economic growth and disrupt daily life, prompting renewed calls for reforms in the energy sector.
