Abuja, Lagos, others in darkness as Nigeria's electricity collapses again

Several Nigerian cities including the capital, Abuja, and Lagos were plunged into darkness Wednesday after the national electricity grid collapsed yet again.

Electricity distribution companies announced a breakdown of the grid, the fourth this year, after extended hours of power outage experienced in many parts of the country. In some areas, the outage began on Sunday. Eko Electricity Distribution Company, based in Lagos, said “Dear valued customer, we regret to inform you of a system collapse on the National Grid that’s causing outages across our network. We are working with our TCN partners to restore supply as soon as possible.”

Ikeja Electric, also in Lagos, also updated its customers on Facebook: “Dear Esteemed Customer, the current power outage is due to a nationwide system collapse that occurred at about 12:26hrs. Power supply will be restored gradually to various parts of the network as soon as the Grid is stabilized. Kindly bear with us.”said in a statement, by its general manager, corporate communications, Oyebode Fadipe, that the system collapse happened around 12:26pm on Wednesday.

The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company said, “Please be informed that we lost supply this morning from our sources of power supply at Awada – New Haven and Egbu Transmission Stations, due to a total system collapse.

Nigeria have no electricity before now!

Definitely it's made of threads. it's a shame our electricity grid is this fragile.

This is the third time in 7 months that we will have a grid collapse. What is really the problem?

When it didn’t collapse, it has always been darkness. So I don’t think we will notice this collapse.
