The national grid has collapsed for the third time in less than a month plunging most parts of Abuja and Lagos in darkness.
On Friday, the national grid fell for the third time in one straight month causing many Nigerians to lament over constant power outage.
The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, AEDC, alongside other power distribution companies, apologized for power outage.
Both the Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) and Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) revealed that the sudden power outage on Friday evening interrupted supply in their areas of operation.
AEDC in a tweet said, “Please be informed that there has just been a national grid collapse causing an outage in our franchise areas.
“We apologise for the inconvenience caused and appeal that you bear with us while we await restoration from the TCN (Transmission Company of Nigeria). We regret all inconvenience caused.”
EKEDC informed their customers in a similar manner.
Most Nigerians whose livelihoods have been adversely affected by these constant power outage have continued to vent their anger over the apparent failure of the Buhari’s led government to effectively manage the country.
According to them, everything under Buhari-led administration had collapsed, leaving Nigerians striving to survive, while advising that the government should as a matter of urgency seek for viable solutions to the power problem in Nigeria and let the country move forward.
