    National Grid Collapse Plunges Parts Of Nigeria Into Darkness

    The national grid experienced a system disturbance on Friday, leading to power outages in several parts of the country, including Lagos.

    The incident occurred as the Federal Government was celebrating what it described as a historic increase in power generation to 6,000MW. However, power generation suddenly dropped below 1,000MW at 2 p.m., falling from about 4,000MW recorded earlier in the day.

    The peak generation for Friday stood at 5,284MW at 5 a.m., but by 4 p.m., it had plummeted to 803MW as several generation plants had yet to restore supply to the national grid.

    The Transmission Company of Nigeria has not yet issued a statement regarding the disturbance, and efforts to reach its spokesperson, Ndidi Mbah, were unsuccessful.

    Confirming the outage, the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company said in a public notice, “Dear esteemed customer, Please be informed that we experienced a system outage today 07/03/2025 @ 14:00hrs, affecting supply within our network.

    “Restoration of supply is ongoing in collaboration with our critical stakeholders. Kindly bear with us.”

    Similarly, the Eko Electricity Distribution Company assured its customers that efforts were underway to restore power.

    “Dear valued customer, kindly be informed there was a system disruption on 7th March 2025 at 13:59hrs, which has resulted in a loss of power supply across our network.

    “We are currently working with our partners as we hope for speedy restoration of the grid. We will keep you updated as soon as the power supply is restored. Kindly bear with us,” Eko DisCo confirmed.
