PENGASSAN Strike Threatens Nationwide Blackout in Nigeria

Nigerians are facing a looming blackout as PENGASSAN's strike threatens to cripple thermal power plants. The Association of Power Generating Companies raised concerns about an imminent shutdown of thermal plants due to a halt in gas supply following the strike.

PENGASSAN instructed its members to cease services, leading to potential nationwide power outages. The strike directive, issued by PENGASSAN's National Executive Council, includes a call for prayer vigils and emphasizes the need for safety during the industrial action.

The situation raises fears of a significant impact on power supply across the country, with hydroelectric dams being the only source sustaining the national grid during this period.
