The Enugu Electricity Distribution Plc confirmed a general system collapse in the five states of the South-East geopolitical zone. “This has resulted in the loss of supply currently being experienced across the network.
“Due to this development, all our interface TCN stations are out of supply, and we are unable to provide services to our customers in Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo States,” the disco said in a statement.
Earlier on Thursday, President Bola Tinubu decried Nigeria’s power generation capacity, saying that the capacity of 4.5 gigawatts is shameful.
