Nigerians were thrown into yet another round of power chaos as the nation’s electricity grid suffered a “grid disturbance” just before noon today, causing widespread outages across several parts of the country.
The Nigeria National Grid, in a brief statement on X (formerly Twitter), confirmed the collapse but provided little detail on the extent of the disruption.
“There was a ‘GRID DISTURBANCE’ before noon today. Parts of the country experienced an outage. Further information shortly,” the agency posted.
This latest power failure has sparked outrage among citizens and businesses, who are grappling with the recurring nightmare of grid collapses.
Many took to social media to express frustration over the unreliable power supply, with some questioning when Nigeria will finally achieve a stable electricity system.
A Troubling Pattern of Grid Failures
This is not the first time Nigeria’s fragile electricity grid has suffered a major collapse. In recent years, the country has witnessed repeated blackouts due to systemic failures.
In 2024 alone, the national grid collapsed multiple times, throwing millions into darkness and disrupting economic activities.
One of the worst incidents occurred in September 2023, when the grid suffered a total collapse, leaving over 90% of the country without power.
The frequent collapses have been attributed to poor infrastructure, gas supply shortages, transmission failures, and inadequate system upgrades.
Despite repeated government assurances and billions of naira spent on power sector reforms, the situation remains dire.
With industries, hospitals, and households forced to rely on costly generators, the power crisis continues to deepen.
Calls for urgent power sector reforms are growing louder, but whether the government can finally end this cycle of blackouts remains to be seen.
