Nigeria is facing a major blackout as the entire country, including its capital Abuja and all 36 states, grapples with a power grid collapse. Electricity distribution companies report that power generation levels plummeted to zero megawatts, causing widespread power cuts. Despite being a major oil and gas producer, Nigeria has struggled with erratic power supplies, with grid collapses occurring multiple times in recent years due to technical issues. Reportedly, the country's maximum energy production capacity is 12,500MW, but it typically generates only a quarter of that amount, exacerbating its power supply challenges.
