Major parts of Nigeria have been thrown into darkness as the national grid experienced a collapse on Saturday, marking the first time in the year

According to data obtained from the Nigerian System Operator’s portal (niggrid.org), the collapse occurred at 1:56 pm.

This incident follows a pattern of instability, with the grid suffering about 12 consecutive collapses in 2024.

The cause of the latest failure is yet to be disclosed by government authority, as of filing the report.
