The AEDC regional office in Lokoja in an explanation this afternoon blame the prolonged blackout on grid collapse occasioned by shortage of gas.

The office in a statement said : “We wish to inform you that the prolonged outage was as a result of Gas Shortage which caused the Grid collapse recently.

“Presently the allocation to Kogi Region is very small and cannot carry large feeders.

“All the Stakeholders in the Energy industry are trying to find solution to the Generation problem.

“Please bear with us. Supply will be restored as soon as the problem is rectified.”   (vitalnewsngr.com)
