Many Nigerian states and cities have been thrown into total darkness as the national grid crashed for the 7th time this year.
The national grid crashed early on Monday, September 26, 2022.
Ikeja Electricity Plc confirmed the development in a statement and urged electricity consumers to bear with them.
The statement reads in full, “Dear Esteemed Customer,
This is to inform you that the outage you are currently experiencing is due to the system collapse of the national grid, which occurred earlier today at 10:50hrs. This has affected the Transmission Stations within our network and resulted in the loss of power supply to our customers
Kindly bear with us as we await restoration of the grid.
Thank you for your understanding.”
According to the records, the national grid crashed twice in July and once in August. Monday’s crash brought it to the 7th time.
