“The tripping caused a cascaded outage, affecting power supply in the Lagos, Abuja, and Osogbo axes.
“However, all other parts of the grid remained unaffected, contrary to media reports of a grid collapse.
“We assure Nigerians of our commitment to efficient delivery of bulk power across the nation as we continue to implement measures to enhance the stability of the national grid.”
