In the motion, Bala said the national grid has collapsed over 100 times since the privatization of the electricity sector in 2013.

He lamented that the grid has collapsed about eight times this year alone, blaming the frequent collapse on a lack of framework or spinning reserve.

Bala noted that it is “incomprehensible that all the key power plants in the country, including Egbin, Utorogu, Chevron Oredo, Oben gas-fired power plants, Ughelli, and Chevron Escravos power plants could all shut down at once.”
