Blackout as national grid collapses again<\/p>\n

Nigeria has again been plunged into darkness as the national grid recorded another collapse on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The incident happened around 2:09 pm, according to the official X handle of the National Nigeria Grid.<\/p>\n

Emergency Digest recalls that the nation\u2019s power grid witnessed a series of collapses last month.<\/p>\n

In 2024 alone, the National grid has collapsed at least eight times.<\/p>\n

Recently, nine northern states were plunged into darkness as the National grid collapsed again.<\/p>\n

The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC (EEDC) has also informed its customers \u201cof a general system collapse that occurred at 13:52 hours today, 5th November 2024. This has resulted in the loss of supply currently being experienced across the EEDC network.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emeka Ezeh, Head, Corporate Communications, EEDC, signed the notice Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He said, \u201cConsequently, due to this development, all our interface TCN stations are out of supply, and we are unable to provide services to our customers in Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, and Imo States.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are on standby awaiting detailed information about the collapse and restoration of supply from the National Control Centre (NCC), Osogbo.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
