BREAKING: National grid collapses

 

The national electricity grid collapsed again on Monday, plunging some parts of the country into darkness.

An official of the Transmission Company of Nigeria, who confirmed the incident to our correspondent, said it was a partial collapse.

The TCN official, who did not want to be named because he was not authorised to speak to the press, told our correspondent that power is being restored gradually.

Our correspondent observed that total generation on the grid dropped to zero as of 1:33 pm on Monday.
The PUNCH recalls this is the fifth collapse in 2024.
