Nigeria's power supply grid collapses, yet again

Once again, Nigeria's electricity grid collapsed yesterday afternoon, plunging the nation into darkness.

Already, some of the electricity distribution companies notified consumers of the total blackout due to yesterday's development.

While the grid collapsed in May due to industrial unrest, it earlier gave way in April, questioning the integrity of the infrastructure.

Though the transmission organisation is yet to advance reasons for the latest incident, the network recorded over 11 failures last year.

The TCN system has reportedly recorded over 100 collapses since the privatisation of the power sector in 2013.
