National Grid: Power Fully Restored To Nigeria After System Disturbance – NISO
The Nigerian Independent System Operator, NISO, says it has fully restored power supply to all parts of the country, and system stability normalised.after a system disturbance.
The management of NISO made this known in a statement in Abuja on Monday.
According to NISO, investigations into the cause and sequence of events leading to the system disturbance are currently ongoing.
It added that appropriate measures shall be put in place to forestall future reoccurrence of such major system incidents.
“We wish to inform the general public and relevant stakeholders that the national grid experienced a system disturbance at 2.01pm. on Monday, that led to a partial collapse.
”It would be recalled that the Lagos–Escravos-Lagos gas pipeline was vandalised on December 10 , which led to the shortage in power generation in the country.
”This has further led to the fragility and weakness of the national grid,” it said.
The system operator said that preliminary reports indicated that the disturbance involved the tripping of several generating units and critical 330 Kilo Volt (KV,) transmission lines.
It said that the disturbance resulted in a widespread impact on electricity supply across parts of the country.
”However, the Delta generation complex successfully operated on island mode at the 132kV sub-transmission voltage level.
”This enabled the continued supply of electricity to Oghara, Amukpe, Benin, and Efunrun 132kV substations, with a total generation of 114 megawatts from four units at the Delta Thermal Power Station,” it added.
According to NISO, in line with established operational procedures, it promptly initiated system response measures using its dispatch and monitoring tools at the National Control Centre, NCC, Osogbo.
The system operator, however, reassured Nigerians of its continued commitment to proactive grid management, and the application of best operational practices to ensure the stability and reliability of the national grid.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
