The national grid has experienced a collapse again today, Friday, throwing some parts of the country, into darkness.
This is coming at a time when the Federal Government is celebrating what it called the historic rise in power generation to 6,000MW.
Investigation revealed that power generation suddenly dropped below 1,000MW at 2 pm from about 4,000MW the hours before.
The peak generation for Friday was 5284MW at 5 am.
At 4 pm, generation was 803MW as many generation plants are yet to restore supply to the national grid.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria has yet to react to the incident as the spokesperson, Ndidi Mbah, did not answer phone calls.
