Power outages: DisCos apologise to Nigerians

Electricity distribution companies (DisCos) in Nigeria have publicly apologized to citizens for the persistent power shortages and prolonged blackouts that have affected the country.

The apology comes as households and businesses continue to experience unreliable electricity supply, with many reporting extended periods without power and expressing frustration over the lack of consistent service.

Nigeria’s power sector has long struggled with generation deficits, aging infrastructure and high distribution losses, factors that contribute to frequent outages and hinder both economic activity and daily life.

While the DisCos did not specify a timeline for fully restoring service, the apology acknowledges the severity of the issue and underscores the need for improved performance as authorities work to address systemic challenges in the electricity network.
