The national grid has suffered a total system collapse, leaving almost the country in darkness.

In a customer notice, the Eko Electricity Distribution Company Plc (EKEDP) said the national grid collapsed at about 6.40 a.m. today.

It said the system collapse has resulted in a total loss of supply across its network.

A spokesperson for the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Ndidi Mbah, also confirmed the development and said they were working on a full restoration.

The transmission company, in August 2023, said the power grid had maintained uninterrupted stability for over 400 consecutive days.

Major DisCos reported the last system collapse in September 2022.
