Another Grid Collapse Plunges Enugu into Darkness as Residents Count Losses
Enugu metropolis has been thrown into darkness after yet another collapse of the national electricity grid. For weeks, residents have endured erratic or no power supply, forcing families and small businesses to resort to costly alternatives or simply halt operations. At Ogbete Main Market, charcoal seller Chinelo Nwankwo has abandoned her refrigerator and cannot afford gas for cooking. In Eugeneoba, perishables spoil daily, and welders sit idle without light to work. Provision seller Nkechi Nnaji reports losing customers because her soft drinks stay warm. Electrician Ifeanyi Eze says there’s no work without power, so clients don’t call for maintenance. The situation in Enugu reflects wider frustration across Nigeria. Households and traders are calling on the Federal Government and power stakeholders to restore stable electricity and prevent further losses.
