The national grid suffered a collapse on Wednesday.
This was confirmed in a public notice dated September 10, 2025, by the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company in a post on its X handle on Wednesday.
According to AEDC, the power outage currently experienced was due to a loss of supply from the national grid.
The post reads, “Please be informed that the power outage currently being experienced is due to a loss
of supply from the national grid at 11:23 am today, affecting electricity supply across our franchise areas.”
The company, however, assured the public that work was ongoing to restore the grid.
It added, “Rest assured, we are working closely with the relevant stakeholders to ensure power is
restored once the grid is stabilised.
