Nigeria has again suffered powered grid collapse with power supply dropping by 93.5 per cent.
TheHintsNews reports that the 4,182 megawatts recorded on Monday this week has now dropped to 273 megawatts as of Thursday morning following a complete system collapse, due to equipment failure or grid disturbance in the sector.
Checks revealed that Nigeria’s electricity generation dropped Tuesday by 59 per cent to 1,705 megawatts, from 4,182 MW recorded the previous day at 06:00 hours, due to grid disturbance.
