Nigeria’s national power grid has collapsed again, throwing some parts of the country into darkness.

This is recorded as its first major collapse in 2025, just within eleven days into the new year.

The collapse has resulted in a nationwide blackout to the despair of Nigerians.

A post by The Energy podcast confirmed the blackout stating, “National grid suffers major collapse… First in 2025.”

Another post said, “Restoration has begun… Currently generating 302MW as of 02:40 pm.”
