Nigeria’s national grid has suffered its 12th collapse this year, disrupting power supply across the country.
The collapse occurred at 2:09 PM on Wednesday, according to a tweet from the National Grid’s official handle, which stated that restoration efforts were underway. However, Jos Electricity Distribution Company (Jos Disco) reported the incident happened slightly earlier, at 1:33 PM, affecting its feeders.
Dr. Friday Elijah, Head of Corporate Communications at Jos Disco, assured customers that efforts were being made to restore power as soon as the grid stabilizes. This marks the 12th grid failure in 2024, with 11 incidents already recorded between January and November.
