Nigeria's national power grid suffered yet another collapse on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, leaving the country in darkness. This marks the 12th time the grid has failed this year, a record-setting number of collapses for a single year.
The incident occurred at 2:09 pm, as confirmed by a tweet from the official handle of Nigeria’s National Grid. “The major grid setback has occurred, and the restoration is to commence,” the tweet stated.
Between January and November 2024, the grid collapsed 11 times. In October alone, it failed three times within a single week, leading to widespread blackouts and public outcry.
This persistent issue has sparked debates about the nation’s power infrastructure, with many Nigerians calling for urgent reform and investment in sustainable energy solutions.
More details about the latest collapse and efforts toward restoration are expected to follow.
