The national grid suffered another collapse on Tuesday, marking the 10th time this year alone that Nigeria has been thrown into total darkness, following the power grid disruptions.

The latest development was confirmed by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) in a statement by its spokeswoman, Ndidi Mbah.
It read: “The national grid experienced a partial disturbance at about 1:52 pm today, 5th November 2024.

 “This followed a series of line and generator trippings that caused instability in the grid and, consequently, the partial disturbance of the system.”

According to Mbah, data from the National Control Centre revealed that a part of the grid was not affected by the bulk power disruption.

“TCN engineers are already working to quickly restore bulk power supply to the states affected by the partial disturbance. Presently, bulk power supply has been restored to Abuja at 2:49 pm, and we are gradually restoring it to other parts of the country.

“We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause our electricity customers,” the TCN said.
