About prayer times in Nigeria

Nigeria is listed here with 22 major cities, starting with Abuja. All cities use the Africa/Lagos time zone. Clocks do not change seasonally, so prayer times shift only with the sun through the year.

The MWL method sets fajr at 18°, isha at 17°. Standard Asr is the default; Asr begins when a shadow equals the object's length. Hanafi followers can switch to Hanafi Asr, which begins later. For the reasoning behind these choices see calculation methods compared and our methodology.
