TCN Restores 90% Power Supply After Nationwide Blackout
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) reported that it has restored about 90% of bulk power supply to its substations following a national grid collapse that caused a blackout across the country. The incident occurred on Monday, October 14, 2024, at around 6:48 PM, and recovery efforts started immediately with support from the Azura power station.
Despite a minor setback on Tuesday morning, power supply has been restored to the Abuja region and other major distribution centers. The Ibom Gas generating station continued to supply electricity to southern areas during the outage. TCN plans to investigate the cause of the disturbance once the grid is fully operational. While some parts of Abuja saw a return of electricity, many areas still experienced outages, prompting criticism from the public over the frequent grid failures.
It has been reported that Bola Ahmed Tinubu was absent at the commissioning of the Opebi-Mende Link Bridge, which took place on April 8, 2026.
