IANA time zones in Nigeria
Nigeria maps to the following IANA time-zone database entries. Open any zone for its current time, UTC offset, daylight-saving rules and the cities and countries that use it.
- Africa/Lagos WAT · UTC+01:00
Does Nigeria have multiple time zones?
Nigeria is listed with one main IANA time zone on Alarm.now. That makes the national clock easier to read, but you should still check a specific city clock when scheduling travel, calls, or deadlines.
Why this matters
A country name is a broad signal. City and IANA pages give Google and users the exact time entity: place, time-zone rule set, UTC offset, and daylight-saving context.
