The national grid suffered a collapse on Wednesday.

This was confirmed in a public notice dated September 10, 2025, by the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company in a post on its X handle on Wednesday.

According to AEDC, the power outage currently experienced was due to a loss of supply from the national grid.

The post reads, “Please be informed that the power outage currently being experienced is due to a loss
of supply from the national grid at 11:23 am today, affecting electricity supply across
our franchise areas.”

The company, however, assured the public that work was ongoing to restore the grid.

It added, “Rest assured, we are working closely with the relevant stakeholders to ensure power is
restored once the grid is stabilised.

“Thank you for your patience and understanding. For further updates or inquiries, call: 08039070070.
WhatsApp: 08152141414, 08152151515. Thank you.”

In 2024, the grid collapsed 12 times and over 100 times in 10 years.

Also in February, the national grid collapsed, throwing many Nigerians into a blackout.

Following the constant power outages occasioned by the incessant grid collapses, six firms and one private university received the approval of the NERC to generate and distribute electricity in April.

Despite this, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, in its July report, claimed that there was no power system collapse nor disturbance in the first quarter of 2025.

“There was no incidence of system disturbance on the national grid in 2025/Q1,” the report stated.

Nigeria’s national grid collapsed at 11:34 a.m. on February 12, 2025, causing widespread power outages.
DisCos like Ikeja Electric (IKEDC) and Abuja Electric (AEDC) reported disruptions and began efforts to restore power.
This marks the first collapse of 2025, following at least 12 incidents in 2024, with October being the worst month.

Nigeria’s national electricity grid collapsed for the first time in 2025 on Wednesday, February 12, leaving much of the country without power. The grid failure occurred at 11:34 a.m., causing a significant power outage affecting millions across several regions. This incident continues the pattern of frequent grid collapses seen throughout 2024.

Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IKEDC) and Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) quickly confirmed the collapse. Both companies reported significant disruptions to power supply within their franchise areas, cutting off homes, businesses, and institutions.

IKEDC took to X (formerly Twitter) to notify the public, stating, “We experienced a system outage today, February 12, 2025, at 11:34 a.m., affecting all our feeders. Our team is working to restore power as soon as possible.” AEDC echoed the update, informing customers that they had already started efforts to restore electricity. “Gradual restoration of power supply has begun. We are working closely with stakeholders to stabilise the grid and fully restore electricity,” the company noted.

Following the recent discovery and subsequent legal proceedings at the Federal High Court in Abuja, a chilling narrative has emerged regarding a dismantled espionage network. Iran had sleeper cells in Nigeria who have been actively spying on both the U.S. and Israeli embassies. These cells were carrying out information and surveillance gathering on both U.S. and Israeli interests in Lagos, including the U.S. Consular office. They were sending this data back to an individual identified as Abu Ali in Iran through encrypted software, preparing such locations for a terrorist attack.

The operation was led by Haruna Ali Abbas, who acted as the primary coordinator for the cell. Abbas, along with Ibrahim Hussein Musa and Adam Suleiman, was intercepted by the Department of State Services (DSS) following a period of intense clandestine activity.

According to testimonies from DSS Deputy Director James Simon, the defendants confessed to receiving specialized training at an Iranian military barracks. During their time in Iran, they were instructed in weapon handling and the collection of open source intelligence specifically targeting American and Israeli assets.
The cell's tradecraft was sophisticated, utilizing coded language and high level encryption software to exfiltrate tactical target packages to their handler, Abu Ali. These packages included detailed lists of American and Israeli concerns in Lagos and their precise locations mapped out for potential kinetic strikes. Beyond physical surveillance, the cell even monitored diplomatic cooperation, such as Israeli agricultural support to the Kwara State government, to identify every possible point of contact.
The downfall of Abbas began on March 16, 2013, when Abbas was arrested at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport while returning from Lebanon.

The subsequent investigation revealed a broader conspiracy to recruit young Nigerians for terrorism training abroad. Now facing trial before Justice Emeka Nwite, the defendants extrajudicial statements have exposed the depth of the plot, with the court adjourning until April 4 for further cross examination as the Nigerian government seeks to finalize the sentencing for these acts of preparatory terrorism.

IMHO there will be a subsidy is gone 2.0 for power

We still have another unofficial price cap which will also go eventually

It's looking like it and might be what finally turn the country into absolute chaos.

Things are hard as it is, the Iran war has made fuel even more expensive, transport cost are soaring, if you join power subsidy is gone join, it will be absolutely unhinged.

Even prices of food and other agricultural stuff that has gone down before are beginning to rise rapidly become of the fuel cost.

I've heard finance bros say strengthening the Naira too drastically is a no no. That once you do that FPI that people were using to make a killing in your FX market will just japa with their dollars. FDIs is still the goal but is there a realistic way Wale Edun and co could have done that in 3 years? Honestly, I don't know.

I hear exporters are currently happy with the 1400-1500 our currency is at which is another angle why the Naira may not have strengthened further.

The foreign investment lady Mrs. Oduwole is working overtime so with the women in the Petroleum industry to unlock more investment but you're 100% right more needs to be done.

That said the Governors have some fiscal room to play with the subsidy removal. What are they doing?

Yes, in Jan when the naira was gained rapidly, CBN had to quickly intervene and bought all the excess dollar in the market to the tune of $230m, the naira reversed and stabilised back to 1370- 1400

Yes, the Governors have to do so much more as they are getting so much more now but the federal government usually set the fiscal tone for the country.

For now, Mr Edun handling of our budget has been horrendous. Imagine we are still financing part of 2024 and 2025 budget in 2026. Lots of contractors are still being owed, ministries are complaining of non disbursal of budgeted and approved funds, there has been zero policy to drive down inflation and stimulate the manufacturing and industrial base. A total epic failure fiscally.

Yes, Mrs Oduwole and the other woman are trying their best but the finance minister and the coordinating minister of the economy is not coordinating anything. The revenue drive is yielding good result but zero impact.

Wale Edun should've been eased out since the second year.

So according to the Israeli defense minister, the IRGC Navy commander responsible for mining and blocking the Strait of Hormuz was eliminated in a strike on his position along with some senior officials with him over night.

E reach to ask: Shey Iran no get any capability to take out at least one or two senior personnel in the Israeli military just to save face? They just keep getting whacked in targeted attacks with no commensurate response for all b*tch slap they've received right from the 12 days war up to this current war.

haven't you heard what Hezbollah has been doing the IDF in southern Lebanon?
Offing them with anti tank missiles, they fry and char them inside Thier tanks , pure masterclass guerilla warfare.
Mind you, Hezbollah is one of the subsidiaries of the resistance axis created by Iran.

I expected you to gloat that the Hormuz is opened, or that Iran nuclear uranium has been achieved by idf/USA, or that trump and netenyahu have installed a puppet regime in Tehran.. I mean these a the clear military goals of the operation epic failure.

But it's almost getting to a month and what we have is a merry go round while trump is here begg allies and even adversaries like china to join him in the fight..

During Obama years, I was left leaning and supported Obama. I watched fox news a few times and they were very critical of his handling of Libya like the way the ambasador Stevens was killed in Benghazi. How much information and warning the US had and if the defence dept acted quick enough. Then Obama and Hillary was the Secretary of State.

The Democrats wanted to move on and bury t, but the Republicans, especially Sean Hannity and Bill Oreilly on Fox kept hammering on it
The Republicans mostly supported the invasion of Libya cos they liked that Ghadaffi was made to pay for his sins which includes the bombing at Lockrbie in 1988

What I am seeing now with the Trump opposition is bitterness

Even we have people doing this on the streets of America

I will give my own opinion
The Jews have been historically very successful I will say more successful per capita than any other group. when you are successful, It breeds jealousy
Lets go into some history we read, In Shakespeares Merchant of Venice that was written about 400yrs ago a guy Jew was called Shylock and was depicted as a wicked person, What did Shylock do, He was a money lender in Italy, An Italian approached him for loan and promised that if he didn't pay back, He should use a knife and take a Pound of flesh from him. Which they both agreed to. Time for payment reached Bassiano(maybe that is the name) defaulted on the loan, when Shylock wanted to take the pound of flesh as agreed to, he became the bad guy and the judge used Wayo and technicalities for him say its only pound of flesh, it must not be more than or less than 1 pound, then they didnt agree on blood, say blood must not drop.

The story made Shylock to be the bad guy for trying to enforce the agreement they made

The Jews came as refugees all over Europe, they had their own specific religion and beliefs and somehow made them very successful everywhere and there was mass hatred towards them. I will even say if Hitler had not attacked them someone in Europe would have eventually done it. And despite all the campaign of anti semitism, the world is still almost going back there

The extreme left and right might have little in common, they hate themselves but when it comes to Jew hate, they find a common ground
You can literally chant death to Jews, wish them harm and people will cheer for you in Western nations today never mind the Arab ones

Someone asked Joe Rogan that of 8bn people in the world how many are Jews, and he said like 1bn. That is the world biggest podcaster who is not even woke and liberal. He is someone I consider neutral and believes there are 1bn Jews in the world when in reality the total population of Jews in the entire world is about 16m less than population of Lagos. Ijaws in Nigeria are almost that size

So anything that happens that you don't like or cannot explain, Just attach Jew to it and it starts making sense
