Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Another national grid collapse in Nigeria has resulted to blackout nationwide.<\/p>\n

The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, AEDC, in a statement posted on its X account said power outage being experienced in its franchise areas is as a result of a system failure from the national grid at 11:21 hours on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Management of Abuja Electricity Distribution Plc (AEDC) wishes to inform its valued customers that the power outage being experienced is as a result of a system failure from the national grid at 11:21 hours today, 4th February, 2024, which has led to a nationwide power outage.<\/p>\n

\u201cBe rest assured that we are working with the relevant stakeholders to restore power as soon as the grid is stabilized,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

The development comes after electricity supply dropped in parts of the country over constraints in gas supply to electricity generation companies.<\/p>\n

In 2023, Nigerians experienced at least three nationwide blackouts on September 14, 19 and December 11.<\/p>\n

Barely two days ago, the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, had begged Nigerians to be patient with the government over challenges facing the country\u2019s power sector.<\/p>\n
