Lights out nationwide? Hold tight NISO’s glued to NGPTC repairs on the vandalized Escravos-Lagos Gas Pipeline after Tuesday’s explosion tanked electricity generation hard!
The blast crippled gas supply to key power plants, starving the national grid and leaving customers in the dark right before Christmas. Multiple stations went offline, creating massive shortfalls—classic Nigeria power headache from infrastructure sabotage. NISO’s in constant huddle with NNPC subsidiary NGPTC, who promise full pipeline ops soon, ramping generation back to normal.
This isn’t new; Escravos-Lagos has been a vandalism magnet, fueling chronic blackouts that cost billions yearly. Good news: Festive timing means priority fixes—expect juiced-up supply for holiday cheer. Pro tip: Generators ready, but stay safe from fumes!
