The national grid, on Friday, collapsed for the first time this year.
According to data obtained from the Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO), the power generation dropped to zero megawatt (MW).
It was learnt that electricity generation dropped from over 4,500 megawatts to as low as 24 megawatts as of 1:30 pm.
All 23 power generation plants connected to the grid reportedly lost output during the incident, resulting in zero power allocation to each of the 11 electricity distribution companies.
The cause of the collapse could not be immediately determined.
