Total blackout occurs as Nigeria’s electricity grid collapses again – fourth time in 2024

The national power grid collapsed again on Saturday afternoon.

The incident, the fourth this year, is expected to cause a total power outage in the country.

Nigeria recorded its last power grid failure on April 15.

Enugu Electricity Distribution Company confirmed the incident in a statement issued by the Company’s Head of Communications, Emeka Ezeh.

The company said it was unable to provide services to customers in Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo states due to a lack of supply across the network.
