The Federal Government has assured Nigerians that it is adopting a holistic approach in addressing reoccurring incidents of national grid collapse in the power sector.
Naija News reports that the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, made this known on Thursday when the investigative committee on frequent incidents of grid collapse submitted its report.
The minister noted that the ugly trend of grid collapse will soon be a thing of the past.
Adelabu also said that the short-term recommendations are expected to be implemented within the next six months to stabilize the grid.
He added, “The recommendations are practical and reality recommendations that are implementable and I believe it will bring an end to the ugly trend.
The thing of grid collapse will soon be a thing of the past.”
Naija News reported that the National Grid suffered another collapse on Thursday, 7th November, plunging Nigeria into a fresh round of darkness.
The fresh collapse of the National Gridoccurred barely two days after it collapsed on Tuesday.
Confirming the fresh collapse, managers of the Nigerian National Grid, in a post via their official account on X, @NationalGridNg, wrote: “BREAKING: Another Grid Setback Experienced.”
It would be recalled that following Tuesday’s collapse, the National Orientation Agency (NOA) blamed the constant grid collapses in Nigeria on the rejection of loads by the electricity distribution companies (Discos).
