Earlier in March, Nigeria’s energy generation dropped significantly, which caused a national blackout due to multiple collapses of the national grid.
The situation was worsened by petrol scarcity and a surge in the price of diesel.
Energy supply, has, however, begun to normalise in the county, which is in line with the target of the federal government to restore normal electricity supply by 21st March 2022.
