The national grid has collapsed for the fifth time this year, leaving many places in darkness.
While the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) is yet to comment on the matter, the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) said the grid collapsed at about 2:55pm on Monday.
“We have learned that some of our customers are still without power due to a system failure of the National Grid at 2.55pm today, 5 August 2024,” AEDC wrote on X.
He, however, assured consumers that the distribution company was working with other companies to restore the system.
“Please be assured that the system is gradually stabilising, and we are working closely with all relevant stakeholders to restore power to the affected areas as quickly as possible,” it said.
