The nation’s afternoon news cycle was marked by renewed disruptions to critical services, following another collapse of the national power grid that left several parts of the country without electricity.
The latest incident, which occurred on Tuesday, was the second grid failure recorded within four days, intensifying concerns over the stability of Nigeria’s power infrastructure and its impact on households and businesses.
As electricity supply faltered nationwide, attention also shifted to developments in the Federal Capital Territory, where the National Industrial Court ordered workers to suspend their ongoing strike. The ruling was expected to restore normal activities across government offices that had been shut down by the industrial action.
Beyond power and labour issues, other major political, economic and social developments also featured prominently in the day’s headlines.
