This comes following the latest failure of the National power system on Monday morning, according to Anaedoonline.ng.

While the problem remains, EEDC claimed in a brief statement to its customers on Monday that the national grid system collapsed around 10:40 a.m.
According to the report, the system failure impacted supplies in the states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo.
Customers of the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company were also informed of the system meltdown, with assurances that electricity would be restored soon.
Following the second embarrassing failure in 2022, the Minister of Power, Abubakar Aliyu, called an emergency conference to find a solution to the country’s epileptic power supply.

A team from power producing firms, TCN, Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading, and Niger Delta Power Holding Company attended the meeting, which was held in the conference hall of the Federal Ministry of Power.
Officials from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Shell, and other power value chain stakeholders are among the others.
