Blackout looms as national grid collapses again

The national grid experienced another system collapse on Thursday, first in the year, causing a power outage in some parts of the country.

“Dear Customer, present outage affecting all is a TCN System Disturbance on the grid. Power to be restored as soon as available,” Eko Electricity Distribution Company tweeted on Thursday.

“Dear Customer, the outage which occurred at 1237hrs is due to a TCN system collapse affecting Lekki, Ibeju & environs. The team is working to restore power,” it added.

This is the first time the grid will collapse in the new year after collapsing in December 2019.
