Nigeria is currently facing a reported nationwide blackout following the collapse of its national grid system.

Daily Report Nigeria reports that grid system is operated by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) situated in Osogbo, the Osun State capital.

The grid managed to produce just a meagre 273 megawatts of electricity coming from two out of the over 27 electricity generators.

The collapse is coming barely a week after the TCN celebrated a questionable 400 days of grid stability.

Afam VI had 0.70MW, Dadinkowa was generating 0.00MW, Ibom Power had 32.90MW, Jebba had 240MW and Olorunsogo was on the grid with zero generation.

At about 1AM midnight, the total power on the grid was 35MW, indicating that the country experienced a total collapse.
