The agreement was formalized yesterday by the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, and ISA Director General, Ashish Khanna at the ISA’s Seventh Regional Committee Meeting for Africa hosted in Accra, Ghana.
This comes as parts of Nigeria were thrown into darkness on Wednesday following yet another collapse of the national electricity grid, disrupting power supply across several states.
The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) confirmed the incident in a public notice posted on its official X handle, stating that the collapse occurred at 11:23 a.m.”
“Please be informed that the power outage currently being experienced is due to a loss of supply from the national grid at 11:23 am today, affecting electricity supply across our franchise areas,” the company announced.
While apologising to its customers, AEDC gave assurances that efforts were underway to restore normal supply. “Rest assured, we are working closely with the relevant stakeholders to ensure power is restored once the grid is stabilized,” the notice added.
