Nigeria was plunged into darkness again on Monday, October 14, 2024, after the national power grid collapsed at around 6:48 pm. Several electricity distribution companies confirmed the system failure, affecting numerous states.

The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) issued a statement explaining the widespread power outage in Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo States, attributing it to the grid collapse. They are currently awaiting updates from the National Control Centre in Osogbo regarding restoration efforts.

The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company and Kano Disco also notified their customers, assuring them that power would be restored soon.
