The Nigerian national electricity grid has collapsed again, leaving the nation without power supply.
This is the seventeenth time the grid will be collapsing in 2022.
According to a statement by the Kaduna electricity distribution company, power distributors in Kaduna and other parts of the country have not been able to receive bulk electricity from the national supply line.
“We regret to inform you that the power outage being experienced in our franchise states is due to system collapse of the national grid. The collapse occurred at about 18:47 pm this evening hence the loss of supply on all our outgoing feeders.
“Power supply shall be restored as soon as the national grid is powered back,” the statement added.
It is unclear how many states are affected by today’s grid collapse.
The disruption marked the 17th time the grid would collapse this year. While some collapses were not made public because they lasted for a short period, many others were made public and lasted days in some cases.
