The national grid has collapsed for the fifth time in the year, plunging many places into darkness.
Although the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) is yet to comment on the matter, the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) said the grid collapsed around 2:55 pm on Monday.
“We understand that some of our customers are still without power due to a system failure from the national grid at 2.55 pm today, 5th August 2024,” AEDC wrote on X.
However, it assured customers that the distribution company is working with others to restore the system.
“Please be assured that the system is gradually stabilising, and we are working diligently with all relevant stakeholders to restore power to the affected areas as quickly as possible,” it said.
