Northern Residents Face Blackout And Call for Immediate Power Restoration
Residents across many northern regions of Nigeria are expressing deep frustration over a prolonged power outage that has lasted several days.
The lack of electricity is not just an inconvenience; it is affecting daily life and critical operations in various sectors, especially healthcare.
Hospitals, which rely heavily on a stable power supply to maintain essential medical equipment, are facing significant challenges in providing care to patients.
In several communities, medical facilities have reported service disruptions, putting patients’ lives at risk.
With equipment that monitors vital signs and supports life-saving procedures at stake, the absence of power is alarming for healthcare professionals and patients alike.
This crisis has prompted urgent calls from residents for action, emphasizing the need for reliable electricity to safeguard public health.
Beyond healthcare, the power outage is severely disturbing productivity across numerous sectors.
Also, businesses that depend on electricity for their operations are struggling to keep up with their commitments.
Shops are unable to open, and production lines are halted, leading to significant economic losses.
Local entrepreneurs are particularly hard hit, as they rely on consistent power to operate machinery and serve customers.
In response to this critical situation, northerners are appealing to the Federal Ministry of Power to take immediate action.
They are urging the government to prioritize the restoration of electricity to the affected areas, emphasizing that the current conditions are untenable and unsustainable.
Many have shared their experiences on social media, highlighting how the outages have disrupted their lives.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
