Nigerians have been thrown into darkness as the national grid experienced a collapse this Saturday afternoon, January 11, 2025, marking the first time in the year.

A BusinessDay report quotes data obtained from the Nigerian System Operator’s portal (niggrid.org), as indicating that the collapse occurred at 1:56 p.m.

“This incident follows a pattern of instability, with the grid suffering about 12 consecutive collapses in 2024,” the report says.

It adds that the cause of the latest failure is yet to be disclosed.
