A collapse of the national electricity grid at 11:23 am on September 10, 2025, caused a widespread blackout, with AEDC working with stakeholders to restore power while urging patience.
The national electricity grid in Nigeria collapsed on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, triggering widespread blackouts across the country. The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) confirmed the outage in a public notice, attributing it to a loss of supply from the national grid.
The post reads, “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.” AEDC assured the public that efforts are underway to restore supply, stating, “Rest assured, we are working closely with the relevant stakeholders to ensure power is restored once the grid is stabilised. Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
Until the system is stabilized, customers across AEDC regions remain without power. The public is encouraged to direct inquiries to the provided phone numbers via call or WhatsApp. Restoration efforts are ongoing, but no timeline has been offered by the utility.
