Just in: Finally, AEDC restores power in some parts of Abuja after national grid collapsed

The power outages Nigerians experienced on Monday evening have been restored in some parts of Abuja Electricity Distribution Company franchise areas.

A check carried out revealed that places like Deidei, Suleja, Lugbe, Kuje and other areas had their light restored on Tuesday at about 5:15 am.

Customers in the AEDC were told of the disruption in supply, which was attributed to the collapse of the National grid.

In a statement on its Twitter handle on Monday, the company said that the system collapse occurred at about 6.58 pm.

Be rest assured that we are working with relevant stakeholders to restore power as soon the grid stabilises,” it said.
