Nigeria’s national power grid reportedly collapsed again on Friday, causing widespread blackouts across several parts of the country.
In a statement on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IKEDC) confirmed the outage, attributing it to a system failure.
“Please be informed that we experienced a system outage today, 07/03/2025, at 14:00 hours, affecting supply within our network. Restoration is ongoing in collaboration with our critical stakeholders,” IKEDC stated.
Efforts are reportedly underway to restore power, but the recurring national grid failures continue to raise concerns about the stability of Nigeria’s electricity supply.
