Unstable and highly epileptic, Nigeria’s power grid collapsed again today, making it the twelfth time this year alone.
The incident, reported at 2:09 PM, led to widespread power outages across the country.
The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) acknowledged the issue, attributing the outage to grid maintenance scheduled to last an hour.
The company assured customers that efforts were underway to restore supply and called for patience during the repair process.
This recurring issue continues to affect businesses and households, raising concerns about the stability of the power infrastructure.
Notorious for unstable service and exorbitant rates, Nigeria’s power supply system has been a major obstacle to the nation’s industrial development.
In April this year, the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) raised the electricity tariff for Band A customers from N68/kWh to N225/kWh, representing about a 240 per cent increase.
