The Eko Electricity Distribution Company has announced that the power supply has been restored.
Following the catastrophic failure of Nigeria’s energy grid early Thursday morning, there was widespread blackout across the country.
Newsclick Nigeria previously stated that the grid completely failed approximately 12:40 a.m. on September 14, 2023, resulting in a huge loss of supply to power distributors across the country.
On Thursday morning, many sources in the power sector, as well as electricity distribution businesses, verified the situation.
The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company Plc issued a notice titled, ‘Notice of Total System Collapse’ on Thursday, and the Eko Electricity Distribution Company also did the same.
However, in a statement via X, (formerly Twitter), Eko Disco affirmed that the national electricity grid had been fixed and power supply had been restored.
The statement read, “Dear valued customer, kindly be informed that power supply has been restored from the grid. Thank you for your patience.”
