The ancient city of Kano has been thrown into
darkness following the collapsed of the national grid for the third time in two
days.
Currently, Kano is under zero megawatts in Kano
Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) with no power to share.
The firm has pleaded with its esteemed customers
over the inconveniences resulting from the protracted power outage experienced.
The company’s spokesman, Mohammed Kandi, said in a
statement issued in Kano on Thursday that “the management of KEDCO sincerely apologises
to all our esteemed customers in Kano, Jigawa and Katsina States on the ongoing
power shortage experienced at their various locations.”
He further
explained that power supply was restored to customers at about 10a.m. on May 9 after
the second grid collapse which occurred by 5a.m.
According to Kandi, “The grid crashed again at
exactly 2:24p.m. yesterday thereby forcing KEDCO coverage areas to deal with
zero megawatts.”
He, however, assured the customers that normal
power supply would be restored to KEDCO network area as soon as the grid
stabilises.
