Nigerians are going through pain as their businesses are collapsing as a result of Nigeria 's decision to cut electricity supply to them.
Nigerians say hospitals are also finding it difficult to store vaccines and other essential drugs.
Nigeria disconnected the supply of 150 megawatts of electricity daily to Niger Republic as part of efforts by the Economic Community of West African States to restore democracy in the Sahel country.
Niger Republic was heavily dependent on Nigeria for most of its electricity supplies.
Ex-envoy of Nigeria to Kuwait , Haruna Garba , said it was wrong for Nigeria to violate the covenant and cut off the electricity supply to the Niger Republic , even during wartime .
Ex-Nigerian diplomat said the whole impasse was not well handled by Nigeria , and described the development as a âknee-jerkâ reaction.
Findings by Daily Trust Saturday revealed that the Kandadji dam would starve the supply of water to Kainji Dam , the major source of hydropower in Nigeria that left its upstream neighbour in blackout today .
Sources said both President Bazoum and his predecessor, Mahamadou Issoufou had pursued the completion of the dam with vigour, saying they wanted to be independent of Nigeriaâs electricity supply.
