Nigeria’s electricity grid has again collapsed, resulting in blackouts across the country.
It is still not clear how many states are affected by the current collapse, as there has been no official announcement from the national level.
However, Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company sent messages to their customers on Monday, intimating them on the reasons for the blackout.
“The current supply interruption is as a result of total collapse of the national grid today which has led to outage across all IE networks. Please be assured that your supply will be restored as soon as supply is restored to the national grid. Apologies for the inconveniences we must have caused you,” the message by Ikeja Electric read.
People’s Gazette reported that this is the 21st time the country’s national grid has gone down this year, with many of them going unannounced.
