Nigeria has recorded another nationwide power system collapse on Tuesday afternoon.

Data obtained from the Nigerian System Operator’s portal (niggrid.org) revealed that as of 2 p.m., all the power distribution companies generated 0.00 megawatts of electricity.

The latest blackout makes it the tenth system collapse in 2024 and the first in November, after recording four grid failures in October.

Attempts by Peoples Gazette to seek comment from the Transmission Company of Nigeria, was abortive as the General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, didn’t respond to enquiry.
