Nigeria restores power after blackouts over the weekend

Most of the cities in Nigeria have electricity back after a complete power outage on Sunday. This happened because the national power grid stopped working.

Power generation stopped completely, and this caused many blackouts in big cities, including the capital city of Abuja.

Many electricity companies sent sorry messages to customers all over the country for the incident.

Nigeria’s transmission company said they fixed the national power grid and it’s working again.

This was the first time the power grid went down this year. It fell down many times last year.

The country has over 200 million people, but it still only makes 3500 to 4500 megawatts of electricity.

Electricity in Nigeria is not always reliable, even though the country produces a lot of oil and gas.
