The national grid being operated by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has suffered a partial collapse, plunging several cities across the country into a blackout.
TheNewsGuru.com(TNG) reports the outage was attributed to a partial system failure from the TCN, which has continued to struggle with maintenance issues.
Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IKEDC) on Friday announced that the system outage around 2:00 p.m., informing customers of the disruption.
“Please be informed that we experienced a system outage today 07/03/2025, at 14:00 hours, affecting supply within our network. Restoration of supply is ongoing in collaboration with our critical stakeholders,” the company said.
Eko Electricity Distribution Company also confirmed the situation, stating, “The current power situation is as a result of reduced power allocation from our TCN partners aimed at maintaining grid stability. The situation has resulted in unavoidable load shedding across our network.”
Despite the disruption, the distribution companies assured customers that efforts were underway to restore electricity in collaboration with key stakeholders.
