Several regions across Nigeria plunged into darkness on Monday following another collapse of the national electricity grid.
The Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO) confirmed the incident in a statement on X, explaining that power supply had dropped drastically as efforts to restore the grid got underway.
NISO, which manages the national power supply to electricity distribution companies, noted that as of Monday, only Abuja and Ibadan were receiving electricity.
Each with just 50 megawatts, far below the 3,660 MW allocated on Sunday, December 28, 2025.
