Nigeria is currently grappling with darkness nationwide, after the national grid collapsed on Saturday.
Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC), confirmed the situation, stating that the power outage being experienced within its franchise is due to a system failure from the national grid.
“Please be informed that the power outage being experienced is due to a system failure from the national grid at 3:10pm today, affecting the power supply to our franchise areas,” the AEDC said.
Also, Ikeja Electric confirmed the development.
“The current service disruption is due to a system collapse of the national grid at about 15:08hrs today, 6th July 2024,” it wrote on Facebook.
The DisCo said it is working with the relevant stakeholders to restore power as soon as the grid is stabilised.
The national electricity grid, on February 4, collapsed for the first time in 2024.
