Some parts of the country, including Lagos and Abuja, are currently without electricity.

TCN General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, in a statement, noted that the grid collapse occurred at about 11:00am.

The company said it commenced recovery immediately from Shiroro Generating Station to Katampe TS, Abuja through the Shiroro – Katampe line at 11:29 a.m.
