Millions of Nigerians were on Tuesday plunged into darkness, with the National Electricity grid collapsing again.
The development comes barely 24 hours after electricity distribution companies across the country announced the grid collapsed around 6:48 p.m., resulting in the loss of power supply across their networks.
According to the Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) through its X handle, “Dear valued customer, kindly be informed that there was a system collapse at 09:17hrs, which has resulted in a loss of power supply across our network.
“We are currently working with our partners as we hope for a speedy restoration of the grid.
“We will keep you updated as soon as power is restored. Kindly bear with us.”
The EKEDC serves some parts of Lagos State.
Similarly, the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company confirmed the fresh collapse and promised the restoration of normalcy as soon as possible.
“Dear Esteemed Customers, We sincerely apologise for the power outage in our franchise states since yesterday evening.
“This is as a result of the collapse of the national grid which occurred at about 6:05 pm on Monday, October 14th.
“The team at the Transmission Company of Nigeria are making efforts to restore supply to the grid after which we shall restore to customers across all our franchise.
“We deeply regret any inconvenience this may have caused.”
