The House of Representatives adjourned plenary on Tuesday over an interruption of power in the lower chamber.
Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabiamila, was compelled to call for an adjournment after the power went out.
The situation forced the lawmakers to exit the chamber in darkness, using their phone torchlights.
This is coming a day after major cities in Nigeria including the commercial nerve centre Lagos and the nation’s political capital Abuja were thrown into a blackout as the national grid collapsed for the umpteenth time in 2022.
Various electricity distribution companies confirmed the development in statements directed to their customers.
Ikeja Electric said the national grid collapsed at 10:50 am on Monday, noting that “this has affected the transmission stations within our network and resulted in the loss of power supply to our customers.”
