Following the shutdown of the national grid by electrical workers, there is currently a nationwide blackout.

This comes after organized labor unions declared an indefinite strike.

On Tuesday, Ndidi Mbah, a spokesman for Transmission Company of Nigeria, verified this.

A statewide blackout occurred on Monday around 11:20 a.m., according to Mbah, as a result of power workers, the National Union of power Employees (NUEE), following the Nigeria Labour Congress’s directives to stop providing their services.

She said, “Electricity workers are NLC members; they’ve complied with organized labor’s directive to cease operations on Tuesday.”

There is a blackout affecting the Federal Capital Territory and its surroundings.

Remember that on Tuesday, the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress, in defiance of a court order prohibiting them from doing so, declared a statewide indefinite strike.
