Darkness in major cities as Nigeria’s electricity grid collapses again

Nigeria’s electricity grid collapsed again, on Tuesday, throwing several cities into darkness.

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) in a statement by its General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, on Tuesday announced that the grid experienced a partial disturbance at about 1:52 p.m.

Ms Mbah explained that this followed a series of lines and generator trippings that caused instability of the grid and, consequently, the partial disturbance of the system.
