National Grid Collapses Again, Leaving Nigerians in Darkness Amid Growing Frustration
Nigerians were plunged into darkness again this morning as the national power grid collapsed for the second time in just three days.
The grid failure, occurring around 11:27 a.m., marks the 12th collapse in 2024 alone, leaving millions without power and fueling public frustration over the repeated outages. 
As of yet, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has not issued an official explanation for the latest collapse, though the previous outage on Tuesday, November 5, was attributed to “lines and generator trips.”
The recurring collapses have sparked widespread discontent, with citizens questioning why such critical infrastructure failures persist without long-term solutions.
With the power situation deteriorating, many Nigerians are feeling the toll, especially given the rising cost of living and additional expenses for alternative power sources.
The frequent outages are impacting businesses, hospitals, and households, adding further strain to an already challenging economic environment.
Meanwhile, citizens and industry experts are calling on the TCN and government to address the root causes of these grid failures and implement sustainable improvements.
This ongoing pattern of collapses is not just inconvenient; it is eroding public trust and patience.
There is a growing sense that immediate action is needed to restore stability and provide Nigerians with the basic comfort of reliable electricity, a necessity in any modern society.
