Following reports of the failure of the national grid system used by Nigerians, which is run by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) from Osogbo in Osun State, the country is expected to remain in the dark.
According to reports, the grid’s output fell to a pitiful 273 megawatts, with just two of the more than 27 power plants contributing to this.
