In 2022 alone, Nigeria’s grid collapsed at least four times, which authorities blamed on technical problems.
According to Aliyu, the transmission infrastructure is being vandalised after every effort to install new ones; forcing the government to resort to alternative but less efficient ways to supply electricity to affected areas in Maiduguri. He added that TCN officials could not access some vandalised power infrastructure in Shiroro, Niger State, as they are situated within terrorist strongholds.
The presidency has declared the recent collapse of the national grid, that affected electricity supply in many states, an act of sabotage.
The TCN explained that the grid collapse, the second time within a period of one month, followed a sudden drop in system frequency.
