Nigeria has been thrown into darkness again following the collapse of the national electricity grid.
Figures from the Nigerian Independent System Operator, NISO, indicate that power generation fell to zero megawatts, while electricity supply to all 11 distribution companies dropped completely by about 1 p.m.
The affected distribution firms include Benin, Eko, Enugu, Ikeja, Jos, Kaduna, Kano, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Abuja and Yola, all of which recorded zero load allocation at the time of the collapse.
The relevant authorities had yet to comment on the cause of the collapse as at press time.
