This development has sparked concern among Nigerians, many of whom rely on the national grid for their electricity needs. While details of the cause of the outage remain unclear.

As of now, authorities have yet to release an official statement detailing the extent of the setback or a timeline for full restoration. This marks another instance of grid instability in recent months, highlighting the critical need for investments in Nigeria’s power sector.

Updates on the situation are expected as restoration efforts continue.
