The national grid collapse and the resultant power outage that plunged some northern states into darkness is not only taking a toll on businesses and other electricity consumers.

The development forced a federal high court in Kano to limit its sittings to three hours a day because of the high cost of diesel.
When lawyers and litigants were set for the day’s proceedings on Thursday morning, Justice Simon Ameboda explained that the court would only sit for 3 hours relying on the generator supplying electricity to the court.
Cases not ripe for hearing were stood down or adjourned.
A staff of the court who pleaded anonymity said on Wednesday, N1 million naira was spent on diesel alone.
Meanwhile, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says its linesmen have identified the fault responsible for the power outage on the Ugwuaji-Apir 330-kilovolt (kV) double circuit transmission line.
The company had reported outage in several pars of the North after the 330 kV Ugwaji–Apir double circuit transmission lines 1 and 2 tripped, raising concerns among residents.
But TCN’s General Manager of Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, said the fault was discovered in the Igumale area of Benue State.
According to him, the fault area, which measures one span, was identified as a snapped 330kv transmission line in the swampy forest of Igumale, Benue state.
He added that preparations were underway to gather the equipment and materials needed for TCN to begin repair work on Thursday.
