Nigerians were on Wednesday plunged into darkness following another collapse of the national power grid.
The PUNCH reports that from January 2024 till November, the grid has collapsed 11 times.
Within one week in October, the grid collapsed three times with its attendant blackouts, sparking reactions from Nigerians.
A tweet via the official handle of Nigeria’s National Grid confirmed that the grid collapsed at about 2:09 pm on Wednesday.
This collapse makes it a historic 12 times in a year that the grid has collapsed.
“The major grid setback has occurred and the restoration is to commence,” the handler wrote.
