The national grid has collapsed again, plunging the entire country into darkness, Eko Electricity Distribution Company(EKEDC) said.
The new grid collapse happened five days after the first one this year on 14 September.
Eko Electricity Distribution Company that supplies power to most of the commercial capital of Lagos said the system collapse happened around 11.31 a.m today.
In a notice to customers on X, it said “there is a total loss of supply across our network.
“We are currently engaging with our partners at the National Control Centre as we await further updates on restoration status”.
However, all the other distribution companies did not indicate if they have the same problem, or whether it’s a problem localised to Lagos.
Ikeje Electric that serves the other half of Lagos metropolis was also silent on whether its supply has been affected by the outage.
There was no word from the Transmission Company of Nigeria or the National Control Centre.
