The federal government has denied claims that the national grid operated by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) collapsed again on Friday, 8 November 2024,
NaijaOnPoint.com.ng(NOP) reports that the clarification follows complaints from Nigerians on social media about blackouts being experienced in specific locations of the country, which was quickly attributed to another grid collapse.
Refuting the reports, managers of the national grid, via a short statement in their account on the X account, noted that reports about a fresh grid collapse are false information.
“Kindly disregard another grid collapse information being spread.
“It’s false information!” the statement read.
NOP understands that the if truly the National Grid collapsed on Friday, as speculated by many, it would be the third time it would happen in the space of one week.
