“We are closely monitoring the situation with our TCN partners to determine the cause and a timeline for resolution.”
Kaduna Electricity also issued a statement apologizing to customers about the national grip collapse that started at about 10:40 a.m.
“We regret to inform you that the power outage being experienced in our franchise states is due to System Collapse of the National Grid which occurred at about 10:40 am.
