THE National Power Grid has once again collapsed causing blackouts in some major parts of the country like Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Katsina, and Jigawa.
The collapse of the Grid, which was said to have collapsed in the evening hours of Friday, April 8, 2022, was confirmed by at least three Electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOs) via their various social media handles, informing their customers of the development in their respective territories.
These DISCOs include Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC), Abuja Electricity Distribution Plc (AEDC), and Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO).
Through their various updates, they blamed the outage being experienced by consumers in various states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on a general system collapse that occurred at about 6:30 pm and 8:50 pm.
“Dear Esteemed Customers, we regret to inform you that a system collapse occurred on the National Grid at 6:30 pm, Friday, April 8, 2022.
“Our partners are assessing the extent of the damage to the National Grid and how soon it will be restored, more information will be provided soon.
“We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused to our customers and we assure you that we are working on a swift resolution,” EKEDC said in a tweet.
