In an alarming development today, a major grid collapse occurred at approximately 1:30 PM, plunging several regions into darkness.

This incident marks yet another in a string of grid collapses over the past few months, raising serious concerns about the stability of the national power infrastructure. The frequency of these outages prompted the House of Representatives to set up a committee in October to investigate the recurring collapses and propose lasting solutions.

Prominent power distribution companies (DisCos) such as Eko Electricity Distribution Company, Ikeja Electric, and Jos Electricity Distribution Company have already issued updates on the situation, assuring customers that efforts to restore power are underway.

According to early reports, restoration efforts are expected to commence soon, though no specific timeline has been provided. The grid failure has once again highlighted the urgent need for reforms in the energy sector to prevent such widespread disruptions in the future.

Stay tuned for updates as more information on the restoration process and government response becomes available.
