The Nigerian government's intervention has successfully halted a planned gas supply cut due to an outstanding debt of N2.7 trillion. The restoration of the national grid by engineers of the Transmission Company of Nigeria allowed for a record-high power generation of 3,624.34 megawatts on Thursday. The collapse of the grid earlier in the week had threatened to disrupt power supplies, but the government's swift action has averted a potential crisis. With the grid now back online, power generation is at an all-time high, providing relief to millions of Nigerians reliant on electricity for daily life and economic activities.
