This incident marks the latest in a string of grid failures, with three occurrences in a single week in October. These recurring disruptions have sparked frustration and reactions from the Nigerian public.
According to an official tweet from Nigeria’s National Grid, the collapse occurred at approximately 2:09 pm on Wednesday. The tweet stated, “The major grid setback has occurred and the restoration is to commence.”
This latest grid collapse has left many Nigerians without electricity, disrupting daily life and economic activities. The frequent grid failures have raised concerns about the reliability and stability of Nigeria’s power infrastructure.
The Nigerian public has taken to social media to express their frustration and disappointment with the recurring power outages. Many have called for urgent action to address the issue and improve the country’s power supply.
The grid collapse has also sparked concerns about the impact on businesses, healthcare, and other critical sectors that rely on a stable power supply.
