According to The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, 18 out of the 23 power plants in the nation are currently unable to generate electricity.
The commission on Monday said that power supply had been generally poor on account of increase in vandalism in the run up to the April 2015 elections.
“But this bad supply condition has worsened in the last few days. At present, 18 out of the 23 power plants in the country are unable to generate electricity due to shortage of gas supply to the thermal plants, with one of the hydro stations faced with water management issue.
“This has led to loss of over 2,000MW in the national grid. This situation is further compounded by the recent industrial action embarked upon by workers in the oil and gas industry, a development, which is taking a toll on other sectors of the economy.
“Gas supplies to the thermal plants have been further constrained by the industrial action of workers in the oil and gas industry.”
