Nigeria’s national grid has suffered yet another collapse, marking the third incident in just one week.

Reports indicate that the Nigerian System Operator’s portal recorded zero megawatts (MW) of electricity as of 9:20 AM, exacerbating the country’s ongoing power crisis. The repeated grid failures have severely impacted an already fragile electricity supply, leaving both businesses and households grappling with the fallout from unreliable power sources.

The persistent power outages come in the wake of comments from the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, who stressed the urgent need for a more resilient power infrastructure. Speaking at the unveiling of Hexing Livoltek, an electricity meter manufacturing company in Lekki, Lagos State, Adelabu highlighted the importance of establishing power grids in various regions or states to mitigate the frequent collapses affecting the national grid.
