Grid Collapse Causes: FG Panel Points to Aging Infrastructure as Main Culprit
A recent report from a federal government panel has highlighted several factors contributing to Nigeria’s recurring grid collapses, with aged equipment topping the list.
The panel’s findings reveal that outdated infrastructure, inadequate maintenance, and poor system management have all played roles in the instability of the national grid.
Frequent collapses have resulted in blackouts, disrupting services and affecting businesses nationwide.
The panel has recommended an urgent overhaul of critical infrastructure and increased investment in modern equipment.
Additionally, it suggests a review of management practices and greater collaboration with the private sector to ensure a more stable and reliable power supply across the country.
