The national grid in Nigeria has collapsed for the tenth time in 2024, with major power generation companies reporting zero output. This outage follows a week where the grid experienced three failures. The Transmission Company of Nigeria has yet to confirm the cause, leaving many in the dark about the situation.
Power Minister Adebayo Adelabu has highlighted the need for regional power grids to enhance stability and mitigate the effects of such widespread failures, a plan supported by the 2023 Electricity Act.
