Nigeria Faces Nationwide Blackout Amid Grid Disturbance and KEDCO Strike

The Nigerian national grid suffered a blackout attributed to a grid disturbance, plunging the entire country into darkness. Various distribution companies reported zero megawatts of electricity supply, with Ibadan Disco being the only exception at 20 MW.

Additionally, KEDCO workers in Kano went on an indefinite strike due to alleged poor working conditions, leading to a socio-economic disruption in the state. This dual crisis has severely impacted electricity supply and operations in Nigeria.
