National Grid fault disrupts Power supply across Nigeria

A widespread power outage on Wednesday sparked concerns of a national grid collapse, but grid operators later clarified that it was a “grid disturbance” affecting specific regions.

Nigerians took to social media to express frustration over the blackout, prompting the National Grid to issue a statement urging the public to ignore fake news.

“There was a GRID DISTURBANCE before noon today. Parts of the country experienced outages. Further information shortly,” the statement read.

NLC President Joe Ajaero criticized the rising electricity tariffs and increasing taxation, arguing that government policies are making life harder for ordinary Nigerians.

The development comes amid ongoing discussions between labor unions and the government over economic policies, including the controversial 50% telecom tariff hike.
