Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) confirmed in a statement on Wednesday that the grid collapse occurred at about 11:27 am.

“We are in talks with the Transmission Company of Nigeria to ascertain the cause of the collapse and a possible restoration timeline. We will keep you updated on the situation.”
