Electricity has been restored in Plateau, Bauchi, Gombe, and Benue states under the Jos Electricity Distribution (JED) franchise, bringing relief to residents after a 10-day blackout.
Power was restored around 7:20 p.m. on Wednesday, sparking celebrations in Jos, the capital of Plateau State.
For the past 10 days, several northern states had been plunged into darkness due to the tripping of the 330kV transmission line connecting Benue and Enugu states.
The outage disrupted daily life and hampered businesses, with residents voicing frustration over the extended power cut.
The restoration of electricity has been met with widespread relief as affected communities resume regular activities after days of difficulties.
