Nigerians In Darkness As National Grid Collapses Again

 

Touchaheart Nigeria reports that the National Grid has once again failed, leaving the country in complete darkness.

 

 

The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) reported the development in a tweet on its profile, urging Nigerians to be patient.

 

“Hello, please be informed that there has just been a national grid collapse causing an outage in our franchise areas. We apologise for the inconvenience caused and appeal that you bear with us while we await restoration from the TCN. We regret all inconvenience caused,” AEDC tweeted.

 

 

Also, the management of Kaduna Electricity in a statement signed by Abdulazeez Abdullahi, its head of Corporate Communication, said, it “regrets to inform you that the current outage being experienced in our franchise states is due to a collapse of the national grid. The collapse occurred at about 18:29 pm this evening.”

 

Despite promises from the Federal Government that it has taken steps to solve the problem, the latest collapse, the third in less than a month, occurred despite assurances from the Federal Government that it has taken steps to address the problem.

 

 

The grid’s manager, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), announced last month that it had devised alternate grid management methods.
