The Federal Ministry of Power says the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC and other relevant authorities are investigating the immediate and remote causes of the recurring grid failure currently ongoing.
The Ministry in a statement says the process of restoring supply is ongoing with some sections of the National Grid already energised and supply restored to consumers.
The statement assures Nigerians that the Federal Government is working assiduously to deliver on the much-needed reforms and investments, including SCADA, that are critical to improving the capacity and reliability of the National Grid. This is in line with the President’s directives on closing infrastructure deficits in critical sectors of the Nigerian economy.
The latest system collapse occurred on Friday resulting in power outages in many parts of the country.
