Nearly 19 hours after the collapse of National electricity grid, the Eko Electricity Distribution Company has announced that power supply has been restored nationwide.
The power restoration was contained in a statement by the Eko Disco on X, announcing that the national electricity grid has been fixed and power supply restored nationwide.
The statement obtained by Ikengaonline read: “Dear valued customer, kindly be informed that power supply has been restored from the grid. Thank you for your patience.”
Ikengaonline, however, reports that at the time of filing this story, the power outage still persists in many parts of the country including the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja.
There has been a widespread blackout across the country following the total collapse of Nigeria’s electricity grid at the wee hours of Thursday.
The power failure which occured around 12:40 a.m. resulted to massive loss of supply to power distributors nationwide.
Ikengaonline had earlier reported that the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company of Nigeria issued a notice to inform its customers in the five South-Eastern states of the unfortunate development.
The statement entitled, ‘Notice of Total System Collapse,’ was signed by its Head Corporate Communications, Emeka Ezeh.
