Nationwide blackout across Nigeria after power grid collapse
Thursday’s outage affects all of Nigeria’s 36 states and the capital, Abuja.
Totally crazy
It's not unusual to have multiple power cuts a day in Lagos. Anyone who can afford it has a generator
Yeah, the article makes it sound as though there may not be power for months though.
Nigeria has 12,500MW of installed capacity but produces about a quarter of that.
President Bola Tinubu has promised to improve supply by allowing state governments to build their own power plants in a bid to help spur sluggish economic growth.
That really doesn't sound like a realistic solution if the feds can't even afford to keep the power plants running.
I guess the fact that they stopped supplying power to Niger doesn't matter as much now. Tough time to start a war, but Tinubu seems gung ho about it.
