The national electricity grid has recorded its first collapse in the year.
The grid collapsed about 13 times in 2019, causing power failure across the country with its corresponding effects on socio-economic activities across the country.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) confirmed this development in a statement on Thursday assuring that efforts are underway to restore power across the country.
The system TCN said to have collapsed around 12:37 on Wednesday resulting in 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,” the company said.
“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. Please, bear with us.”
