Most part of the country has since been thrown into blackout on Wednesday, following the collapse of the national grid.
The grid collapse was confirmed in a public notice via x handle by the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company.
According to AEDC, the power outage currently experienced was due to a loss of supply from the national grid.
The post reads, “Please be informed that the power outage currently being experienced is due to a loss
of supply from the national grid at 11:23 am today, affecting electricity supply across
our franchise areas.”
The company, however, assured the public that work was ongoing to restore the grid.
It added, “Rest assured, we are working closely with the relevant stakeholders to ensure power is
restored once the grid is stabilised.
“Thank you for your patience and understanding. For further updates or inquiries, call: 08039070070.
WhatsApp: 08152141414, 08152151515. Thank you.”
Grid collapsed has become recurring incident in Nigeria despite huge budgetary allocation to the power sector.
