Nigeria’s National Grid Collapses Again, Marking 12th Failure in 2024
Nigeria's national power grid collapsed again on Wednesday, marking the 12th time in 2024. The latest failure, which occurred at 2:06 pm, has sparked widespread blackouts, with the government promising a permanent fix.
Nigerians were plunged into darkness once again on Wednesday following another collapse of the national power grid, marking the 12th occurrence of such an incident since January 2024.
According to The PUNCH, the latest grid failure, which happened around 2:06 pm, led to widespread blackouts across the country. This follows a particularly troubling period in October, when the grid collapsed three times within just one week, further fueling public frustration.
A post on Nigeria’s official national grid account on X confirmed the collapse, stating, “The major grid setback has occurred, and restoration will commence.”
The Federal Government has assured the public that a permanent solution is being sought to address the ongoing issues with the national grid. Further details on the situation are expected to be released soon.
