Nigeria’s National Grid Collapses Again, Fourth Time in 2024″
Nigeria’s power sector has been plagued by another system failure, resulting in a nationwide blackout. This is the fourth time in 2024 that the national grid has collapsed, highlighting the country’s ongoing struggles with electricity generation and distribution.
According to the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC), the power outage was caused by a system failure from the national grid at 3:10 pm on Saturday, July 6. The company is working with relevant stakeholders to restore power as soon as the grid is stabilized.
This latest collapse has sparked widespread frustration and concern, with many calling for the Minister of Power to be held accountable. Some have also questioned the competence of the government agencies responsible for managing the country’s power sector.
As Nigeria grapples with its energy crisis, citizens are left to bear the brunt of the failure. With four grid collapses in just seven months, it’s clear that urgent action is needed to address the country’s power challenges. Will the government finally take decisive steps to resolve this perennial problem? Only time will tell.
