Nigerians has been thrown into total darkness as the national grid has experienced its usual system collapse.
It was gathered that the electrical infrastructure collapsed about 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, February 12, 2025.
The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company confirmed the development via a post on its X account on Wednesday.
The company stated: “Dear Valued Customer, We regret to inform you that a system disturbance occurred on the national grid at 11:34 a.m. today causing a power outage across our franchise areas.
“While gradual restoration of power supply has commenced, please be assured that we are working closely with relevant stakeholders to fully restore electricity as soon as the grid is stabilised.
“Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to serve you better.”
The grip collapse was also confirmed by Ikeja Electric, saying: “Dear esteemed customer, please be informed that we experienced a system outage today 12th February, 2025, at 11:34hrs affecting all our feeders.
