Nigeria's National Grid has collapsed for the 12th time this year.
The latest incident occurred at approximately 2:09 pm on Wednesday, leaving millions of Nigerians without electricity and highlighting ongoing challenges within the country's energy sector.
The grid's failure was confirmed by a tweet from the official handle of Nigeria’s National Grid, stating, “A major grid setback has occurred and the restoration is to commence.”
This
marks yet another episode in a series of disruptions that have plagued the nation throughout 2024, with three collapses reported within a single week in October alone.
These frequent outages have significant implications for daily life and economic activities across Nigeria.
The persistent instability of the power supply shows broader systemic issues, including inadequate infrastructure and management challenges.
As the country grapples with these power failures, there are calls for urgent reforms and investments to stabilize the grid and ensure reliable electricity for all citizens.
