The House of Representatives has instructed its Committee on Power to swiftly probe the frequent national grid collapses and provide a report within three weeks.
This is amid a motion of urgent national importance raised by Hon. Mansur Manu Soro (Bauchi, PDP) during the plenary session on Wednesday.
Hon Soro, in his motion, expressed deep concern over the persistent grid failures, which have plunged the entire country into blackout, worsening the economic challenges already faced by Nigerians.
