Nigeria has been left in darkness, as the electricity grid, controlled from Osogbo, Osun State, collapsed at about 4:30 pm yesterday.

Most distribution companies across the country disclosed that their feeders were out, thereby leaving their franchise area across the 36 states in darkness.

In the last 10 years that the grid was privatised to overhaul the despondent state of the sector, the grid has collapsed on over 141 occasions. Abia State Governor, Dr Alex Otti, has lamented that even though his state is part of the Niger Delta region, and ought to benefit from the Niger Delta Ministry and Niger Delta Development Commission’s statutory mandate, Abia is rather a major beneficiary of abandoned NDDC projects.

Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria has tackled the Federal Government and the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, for letting the Plateau Christmas Eve killers go unpunished.
