BREAKING: Total Blackout Across Northern states as National Grid collapses again Nine Northern states in Nigeria have been plunged into obscurity as the National grid collapsed again.
The President of Nigeria Consumer Protection Network, Kunle Olubiyo announced in a statement on Monday night.
The electricity entity collapse led to outages in Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa, Benue, Katsina, Taraba, Gombe, and parts of Borno and Nasarawa states.
The previous collapse though superficial is the fourth time in less than two weeks.
Recall that at the weekend the grid collapsed for the third time in a week.
Reacting to the incessant national grid collapse and its impact on Nigeria’s economy, Olubiyo asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to hold an emergency on the power sector.
This also trended:
“The present overwhelming widespread obscurity being ingenious in about 11 Northern States is nothing but a global embarrassment”, he said.
Meanwhile, Nigerian authorities are yet to substantiate the last grid collapse.
Earlier, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission and the Transmission Company of Nigeria blamed Saturday’s grid collapse on an explosion of a current transformer at the Jebba transmission station at 08:15 am hours.
