Nigeria has once again experienced a statewide blackout due to the failure of its national grid system. This is the sixth grid breakdown in 2024.
Nairametrics’ checks revealed that all distribution businesses are currently receiving no power from the grid, leaving their feeders without electricity.
The Eko Electricity Distribution Company also addressed the problem by issuing a statement to its customers on X (previously Twitter) that confirmed the power outage.
“Dear Valued Customer,
“Kindly be informed there was a system collapse at 18:48hrs which has resulted to a loss of power supply across our network.
“We are currently working with our partners as we hope for speedy restoration of the grid. We will keep you updated as soon as power supply is restored. Kindly bear with us,” Eko DisCo said.
