The National Grid collapsed again on Thursday, 7th November, plunging Nigeria into another round of widespread power outage.

The fresh collapse of the National Grid occurred barely two days after it collapsed on Tuesday.

It would be recalled that following Tuesday’s collapse, the National Orientation Agency (NOA) blamed the constant grid collapses in Nigeria on the rejection of loads by the electricity distribution companies (Discos).

The NOA said the Discos are unable to carry the capacity of generated electricity.

Speaking via a statement on Tuesday after the national grid collapsed for the tenth time in 2024 alone, the NOA said the inability of the discos to play their part despite increased generation is responsible for the constant collapses of the nation’s electricity grid.
