Power generation in the country has dropped to 1, 580 MW in the last
three days resulting in blackout presently being experienced in some
parts of the country. Senior officials at Power Holding Company of
Nigeria, PHCN, attribute the decrease in power generation to a partial
system collapse at the Shiroro dam in Niger state and the activities of
gas pipeline vandals in the Niger Delta region.
Residents of Lagos state have also been thrown into darkness in that
last 4 days following a strike action by members of staff of the Ikeja
Electricity distribution company who are protesting the disengagement of
400 of their colleagues who failed a competence test carried out by
their management.
