Nigeria’s national electricity grid suffered its second collapse in less than 24 hours on Tuesday morning. According to a Punch report, the latest incident occurred at 9:17 a.m. and led to a total blackout nationwide.

This follows a previous failure on Monday evening, which began around 6:18 p.m. Power generation had dropped from 3.87 gigawatts at 5 p.m. to 3.56 gigawatts by 6 p.m. and then to zero by 7 p.m. Reports from various power distribution companies confirmed this decline. The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC), which oversees power supply in the southeastern region, confirmed that the system collapse has severely affected power distribution in key states like Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo.

By 10 a.m. Tuesday, the electricity supply had ceased entirely, affecting all regions. The Eko Electricity Distribution Company acknowledged the system collapse and communicated the outage to customers. He assured them that efforts were underway to restore power. However, the spokesperson for the Transmission Company of Nigeria did not respond to media inquiries about the incident.

The persistent electricity grid collapse counts as one of the severe challenges facing Nigeria’s power supply infrastructure. The last grid collapse was just in August.
