Power Outage Persists as Pipeline Repairs Approach Completion

Electricity supply across Nigeria remains limited due to a temporary drop in power generation, but officials confirm full restoration is imminent as repairs on a damaged gas pipeline are almost finished.

A recent update confirmed that repair work on the affected pipeline is nearing completion, and once restored, gas-fired power plants will resume normal operations, improving electricity supply nationwide.

This update follows the expiration of the first 24 hours of a 48-hour restoration timeline previously announced. Earlier assurances stated that efforts were underway to stabilize the national grid after a power generation shortfall caused by a pipeline explosion disrupting gas supply to thermal plants.

Data shows current electricity load allocation to distribution companies, with total generation at 3,272 MW. Authorities continue to monitor the situation and urge patience as final repairs are completed and power supply gradually returns to normal.
