This is the second time the grid has collapsed this week and the twelveth time in the last eleven months. The development has stirred mixed reactions on social media among Nigerians.

Meanwhile, the Transmission Company of Nigeria has not issued an official statement on the reason the grid collapsed again on Thursday.

However, recall that TCN blamed the grid collapse on lines and generator trips on Tuesday.
