Major parts of Nigeria were plunged into darkness on Monday following a collapse of the national electricity grid.
The Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO), the agency responsible for managing the national power supply to distribution companies, confirmed the system failure in a public statement. NISO reported that power generation had plummeted to just 50 megawatts as efforts to restore the grid began.
At the time of reporting, only the areas served by the Abuja and Ibadan distribution networks had received the minimal 50-megawatt allocation. This is a stark drop from the 3,660 megawatts allocated to the entire country the previous day, Sunday, December 28, 2025.
The collapse has left millions of homes and businesses without electricity, marking another significant disruption in Nigeria's long-challenged power sector.
