Millions of Nigerians were plunged into darkness on Monday night after the national electricity infrastructure suffered system failure across the country.
Electricity distributors said they did not receive energy from the Transmission Company of Nigeria starting at about 7:00 p.m., as millions returned home after a long day at work.
Abuja Electricity said the failure started at 6:58 p.m. and assured customers that efforts had been ramped up to address the crisis.
The cause of tonight’s collapse was not immediately clear. A spokesperson for the TCN was unavailable for comment.
