The national electricity grid has collapsed again today, Thursday.
A source in the industry said this is coming less than  eighteen hours after a similar collapse on Wednesday.
While the previous collapse was restored, the latest collapse has left many states without power completely.
The source said for nearly two hours, the entire franchise of Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, AEDC comprising Kogi, Abuja, Nasarawa, and Niger States have zero megawatts, no electricity.
It was gathered that the collapse also affected states like Kaduna, Sokoto, Kano and Katsina under Kaduna Electric and Kano DisCo.
Although the remote and immediate causes are being ascertained, officials of the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN said they are working hard to restore the power grid shortly.
