Nigeria has been plunged into darkness once again following another collapse of the national grid on Tuesday.

The grid experienced multiple collapses in October, with the Federal Government promising a permanent solution to the ongoing issue.

As of 2:35 pm, hourly generation data revealed that none of the Power Generation Companies had generated a single megawatt.

A statement by the spokesperson of the Transmission Company of Nigeria, Ndidi Mbah, confirmed that “the national grid experienced a partial disturbance at about 1:52 pm on 5th November 2024.”

“This followed a series of line and generator trippings that caused instability in the grid and, consequently, the partial disturbance of the system.

“TCN engineers are already working to quickly restore bulk power supply to the states affected by the partial disturbance. Presently, bulk power supply has been restored to Abuja at 2:49 pm, and we are gradually restoring it to other parts of the country.

“We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause our electricity customers,” she said.
