Another national grid collapse in Nigeria has resulted in a total blackout nationwide.
The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, AEDC, in a statement posted on its X account, said a power outage being experienced in its franchise areas is a result of a system failure from the national grid at 11:21 hours on Sunday.
“The Management of the Abuja Electricity Distribution Plc (AEDC) wishes to inform its valued customers that the power outage being experienced is a result of a system failure from the national grid at 11:21 hours today, 4th February 2024, which has led to a nationwide power outage.
“Be rest assured that we are working with the relevant stakeholders to restore power as soon as the grid is stabilized,” the statement said.
The development comes after electricity supply dropped in parts of the country over constraints in gas supply to electricity generation companies.
In 2023, Nigerians experienced at least three nationwide blackouts on September 14, 19 and December 11.
