In a startling development, Nigeria has plunged into darkness following the collapse of the national grid—the first of such incidents in 2025. The blackout, which occurred in the early hours of Friday, disrupted power supply across the country, leaving millions of Nigerians grappling with the sudden outage.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) attributed the collapse to a “system disturbance” but assured the public that efforts are underway to restore power. The incident has sparked outrage among citizens, with many taking to social media to express frustration over the persistent power challenges plaguing the nation.
This marks a grim reminder of the country’s fragile energy infrastructure and raises fresh concerns about the government’s commitment to achieving stable electricity supply under President Tinibu’s administration.
As industries and households scramble to adapt, the spotlight now turns to the Ministry of Power for immediate answers and sustainable solutions. Will this be a wake-up call for transformative action, or just another episode in Nigeria’s power woes?
