The National Power Grid has collapsed again, leaving parts of the country in darkness and disrupting electricity supply to millions of households and businesses.
It will be recalled that the nation experienced similar power outage across the country late last year on December 29 , 2025, which is barely less than a month
Findings revealed that electricity generation dropped sharply from over 4,500 megawatts to as low as 24 megawatts as of 1:30 pm.
All 23 power generation plants connected to the grid reportedly lost output during the incident, resulting in zero power allocation to each of the 11 electricity distribution companies.
The cause of the collapse could not be immediately determined, and officials of the Transmission Company of Nigeria had yet to issue a detailed statement at the time of filing this report.
But previous Grid collapses have been attributed to a combination of technical faults, inadequate maintenance of transmission lines, and fluctuations in generation capacity.
Meanwhile a notice from Abuja Electric to its customers noted that “gradual restoration of supply” has commenced
