Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross River and Akwa Ibom states thrown into darkness following breakdown of National Grid

Four states, namely Rivers, Cross River, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom have been
thrown into darkness following the collapse of the National Grid which occurred
yesterday June 19th.
According to PM News, the Head of Corporate Communications at the Port
Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company, PHED, which supplies electricity to
these states, yesterday notified its consumers in the four states that the
National Power Grid had collapsed and so they will not be able to supply them
power until the grid is repaired. He said PHED would however source for power
from other alternative sources to consumers that are willing to pay for the
power.
