The collapse occurred around 2:09 pm, disrupting electricity supply to homes and businesses across the country.
This incident marks the 12th time the National Grid has failed since the beginning of the year.
Earlier in October, the grid collapsed three times within the span of just one week, worsening power challenges.
A tweet from the official National Grid handle confirmed the setback and announced restoration efforts would begin shortly.
The government has not yet issued a full statement regarding the cause of the latest grid failure.
Nigerians continue to face severe power shortages as grid collapses become more frequent, straining daily life.
The National Grid’s repeated failures have sparked widespread concerns over the country’s energy infrastructure and reliability.
Experts call for urgent reforms and investments to stabilize the grid and avoid further disruptions to power supply.
More updates are expected as restoration efforts unfold.
