by KakakiOodua Media Services in Infrastructure, National, updates

‎The national grid suffered a collapse on Wednesday.

‎

‎This was confirmed in a public notice dated September 10, 2025, by the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company in a post on its X handle on Wednesday.

‎

‎According to AEDC, the power outage currently experienced was due to a loss of supply from the national grid.

‎

‎The post reads, “Please be informed that the power outage currently being experienced is due to a loss

‎of supply from the national grid at 11:23 am today, affecting electricity supply across

‎our franchise areas.”

‎

‎The company, however, assured the public that work was ongoing to restore the grid.

‎

‎It added, “Rest assured, we are working closely with the relevant stakeholders to ensure power is

‎restored once the grid is stabilised.

‎

‎“Thank you for your patience and understanding. For further updates or inquiries, call: 08039070070.

‎WhatsApp: 08152141414, 08152151515. Thank you.”

‎

‎In 2024, the grid collapsed 12 times and over 100 times in 10 years.

‎

‎Also in February, the national grid collapsed, throwing many Nigerians into a blackout.

‎

‎Following the constant power outages occasioned by the incessant grid collapses, six firms and one private university received the approval of the NERC to generate and distribute electricity in April.

‎

‎Despite this, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, in its July report, claimed that there was no power system collapse nor disturbance in the first quarter of 2025.

‎

‎“There was no incidence of system disturbance on the national grid in 2025/Q1,” the report stated.
