Nigeria’s national power grid has recorded its first major collapse for the first time in 2025, barely a fortnight into the new year.
The collapse has resulted in a nationwide blackout to the despair of Nigerians.
This incident marks the 13th occurrence in the past 13 months.
Checks by newsmen showed that power generation dropped from 2111.01 megawatts as of 2 pm to 390.20 MW by 3 pm.
A post by ‘The Energy’ podcast confirmed the blackout, stating: “National grid suffers major collapse… First in 2025”. Another post said: “Restoration has begun… Currently generating 302MW as of 02:40 pm”.
