The Nigerian federal government has clarified that the recent drop in electricity supply across parts of the country was not caused by a major or systemic failure of the national grid.
Officials said the decline in power was not due to a widespread grid breakdown, suggesting that other factors may be responsible for the outages that have affected several regions.
While the statement does not identify the precise cause, it rules out a large-scale fault in the national transmission network as the source of the supply shortfall.
Electricity supply has long been a challenge in Nigeria, with frequent disruptions reported in many states. This announcement comes amid ongoing concerns about the reliability of the country’s power infrastructure.
The government has not yet detailed further steps, but the clarification indicates that investigations will focus on issues other than the national grid itself.
