Persecondnews recalls a particularly tumultuous week in October, when the national grid collapsed a staggering three times, casting the nation into darkness and sparking outrage among Nigerians.

The official Twitter handle of Nigeria’s National Grid announced via a tweet that the grid experienced a collapse at precisely 2:09 pm on Wednesday.

The handler wrote: “The major grid setback has occurred, and the restoration is to commence.”
