Nigeria operates on West Africa Time (WAT), which is 1 hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+1). The country does not observe daylight saving time, so the offset remains constant throughout the year.
All of Nigeria follows the same timezone. Major cities including Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Ibadan, and Port Harcourt all observe WAT. Lagos is the largest city and economic hub, while Abuja serves as the federal capital.
Nigeria is Africa's most populous country with over 200 million people and is often called the "Giant of Africa." Lagos is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world and is Africa's largest city by population. Nigeria is also the largest oil producer in Africa and has the continent's largest economy.
