Nigerians Thrown Into Darkness As National Grid Collapses Again

Nigeria was thrown into darkness on Sunday as the national grid collapsed again.

Sunday Telegraph reports that the national grid collapsed at about 11.21 am on February 4, 2023.

A message was issued from one of the distribution companies (Disco) to estate residents and a response from the Head, of Corporate Communications, the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company Plc (EEDC), Emeka Ezeh, confirmed the blackout.

“The current power outage affecting your estate is due to a collapse of the national grid at about 11:21hrs.

“Efforts are currently being coordinated by the National Control Centre to effect the restoration of supply to the grid and all locations affected by the development.”
