Nigeria has been plunged into darkness following yet another collapse of the national electricity grid on Wednesday afternoon.
The development came just weeks after multiple grid collapses in October, despite the Federal Government’s assurances of implementing a permanent solution to the recurring challenge.
Posts by netizens on various X accounts confirmed the grid collapse, which occurred at about 2:06pm.
“The major grid setback has occurred and the restoration is to commence,” one of the social media users said.
As of the time of this report, efforts to restore power to affected areas were underway. Further details about the cause of the collapse and the progress of restoration were expected to be made available soon by concerned authorities.
