Nigeria’s National Power Grid Collapses Again, Marking the 12th Time This Year
On Thursday, Nigeria was thrown into darkness as the country experienced another collapse of its national power grid.
This disruption, which occurred at approximately 11:20 a.m., caused a nationwide power outage, affecting millions across the country.
The incident was confirmed by the Nigeria National Grid on X, where they posted, “BREAKING: Another Grid Setback Experienced,” signaling the severity of the situation.
This is the second time the national grid has failed in the past week, bringing the total number of collapses this year to twelve.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), which is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the national grid, has yet to provide a detailed statement on the cause of Thursday’s collapse.
However, earlier in the week, TCN attributed a similar incident on Tuesday to a combination of line failures and generator trips, which are often caused by technical faults or mismanagement within the system.
These explanations, though, have done little to quell the growing concerns over the state of the power sector in the country.
In a related development, Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, had received an investigative report on the persistent grid collapses just the day before.
While the findings of this report have not been made public yet, it is expected to provide critical insights into the underlying causes of the grid’s instability.
This report comes at a time when the Nigerian government is under increasing pressure to find long-term solutions to the nation’s power crisis.
With the power grid collapsing so frequently, the impact on businesses, healthcare, education, and daily life is becoming increasingly severe.

The Imo State Police Command’s Quick Intervention Team has arrested a suspected child trafficker, Mrs. Chinelo Onwuasonya, 36, and rescued three abducted children.
Onwuasonya, described as a notorious figure in child trafficking, was apprehended on Wednesday at Amajeke Park, Owerri, with the children she allegedly abducted from different locations in the state.
Commissioner of Police, Aboki Danjuma, praised the operation, stating that the children—Chinecherem Eze (3), Delight Eze (1), and Okeke Favour (3)—have been reunited with their families.
“This success highlights our commitment to protecting children and combating trafficking. We urge the public to report any suspicious activities,” Danjuma said, reaffirming the command’s dedication to eradicating child trafficking in Imo State.
A 14-year-old girl, Giselle Glover, tragically lost her life after her mother, Kelsey Glover, 35, allegedly held her head underwater in a bathtub.
Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez stated that deputies responded to an “armed disturbance” at the Poinciana home on Wednesday, November 20. Upon arrival, officers found Glover attempting to attack witnesses with a hammer after the incident.
Despite attempts to save Giselle, she was found unresponsive and pronounced dead at the hospital. Witnesses reported that they tried to intervene but were unsuccessful in stopping the attack.
Glover, who is being held without bail, faces charges of aggravated assault and battery, with additional charges pending. Authorities are investigating her motives, as she has been uncooperative so far.
Officials confirmed a prior domestic issue involving Glover, where she allegedly attacked her daughter’s father.
