BREAKING: Northern states in darkness as National Grid collapses again
Nine Northern states in Nigeria have been plunged into darkness as the National grid collapsed again.
The President of Nigeria Consumer Protection Network, Kunle Olubiyo disclosed in a statement on Monday night.
The electricity system collapse led to outages in Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa, Benue, Katsina, Taraba, Gombe, and parts of Borno and Nasarawa states.
The latest collapse though partial 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 declare an emergency on the power sector.
“The present overwhelming widespread darkness being experienced in about 11 Northern States is nothing but a global embarrassment”, he said.
Meanwhile, Nigerian authorities are yet to confirm the latest 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.
