Following Monday’s National Grid collapse resulting in a blackout across the country, another collapse incident has occurred.
The recent collapse was disclosed by the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company and Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) on Tuesday evening.
Ikeja Disco disclosed that the collapse affected transmission stations and it was already working with regulators to bring the grid back online.
Ikeja Disco stated, “This is to inform you that the outage you are currently experiencing is due to the system collapse on the National Grid which occurred today at 17:10hrs.”
“This has affected the Transmission Stations within our network.
Kindly bear with us as we await restoration of the grid. We apologise for all inconveniences caused,” it added.
Meanwhile, Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) announced another Electricity Grid collapse in the five South-East states on Tuesday,
It said, “The EEDC wish to inform our esteemed customers of another system collapse which occurred at 5:10p.m.
“This is coming barely 24 hours after the national grid collapse experienced in the early hours of Monday, March 14 at about 10:45 a.m.
“As a result of this unfortunate development, all our outgoing feeders are out and supply to our customers in Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo States has been affected.

Senator Shehu Sani took to Twitter to lament the grid collapses as well as the myriad of challenges the country is currently facing.
Nigerians may never enjoy stable electricity as long as there are power that be who specializes in generator businesses. We know the kingpins behind the importation of those generators.
As long as FGN remain blind to ban generator importation, we may not enjoy stable power in our nation.
FGN, BAN IMPORTATION OF ALL MAKES OF GENERATORS. BUILD NIGERIANS, BUILD OUR ECONOMY, STOP PROVIDING JOBS FOR GENERATOR MANUFACTURERS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
