Several distribution companies (DisCos) took to social media to apologise for the outage, which lasted for more than two hours.

“Dear Esteemed Customer, please be informed that we experienced a complete loss of supply to all our feeders at 11:20 hrs today (10/09/2025).
"We regret any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your understanding as we work in collaboration with our critical stakeholders to restore supply promptly. – Management, Ikeja Electric.”

In a related development, Legit.ng reported that the federal government, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has assured that Nigeria is on the road to sustainability in the power sector.
Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, stated this in Abuja during the inauguration of two blocks housing five training workshops and a 104-room hostel at the National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (NAPTIN).
Adelabu noted that the development is a milestone for the institute and the sector, adding that President Bola Tinubu’s administration had demonstrated genuine commitment by “walking the talk and converting vision into action.”
