Major Nigerian cities including the Federal Capital Territory were thrown into darkness on Wednesday when the country’s electricity grid collapsed.
Electricity distribution companies announced Wednesday that the collapse occurred at about 11:00 a.m.
Wednesday’s incident is the sixth reported collapse in 2022.
The government blames poor management and low gas supply as the major causes of the repeated breakdown of the grid, which is managed by the Transmission Company of Nigeria.
The Eko Electricity Distribution Plc informed its customers of the grid collapse via Facebook.
