There is nationwide blackout as the national grid collapsed for the first time in 2024.
Reports say the grid collapsed by 11:21am today, Sunday February 4.
The incident resulted in the authorities shutting down all 20 power plants, except Ibom Power with 31 megawatts.
Confirming the development, the management of Abuja Electricity Distribution Plc (AEDC) said the power outage was 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.”
While appealing for patience among its customers, it assured that it is working with the relevant stakeholders to restore power as soon as the grid is stabilized.
