BREAKING: A nationwide blackout results from an electrical grid failure

 Nigeria is currently in a state of widespread darkness as a result of the failure of the national grid.


The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), which is based in Osogbo, the capital of Osun State, manages the grid system.


The grid was down to a pitiful 273 megawatts of electricity at the early hours of Thursday, according to checks, which came from two of the more than 27 electricity generation facilities.

It was only a week ago that TCN celebrated 400 shaky days of grid stability.


Guardian was informed by a number of Distribution Companies (DisCos) that the grid fell down at 00:41 AM and that the majority of their feeds are not working.


On the grid as of 4:00 a.m. on Thursday were five producing units. Ibom Power had 32.90MW, Afam VI had 0.70MW, Dadinkowa was producing 0.00MW, Jebba had 240MW, and Olorunsogo had no generation at all but was connected to the grid.


The entire power available on the grid at 1 AM was 35 MW, suggesting that the nation had completely collapsed.
