Current local time in Nigeria
One time zone, 269 cities listed
Nigeria keeps a single time zone, Africa/Lagos: West Africa Time (WAT, UTC+1) all year, with no daylight saving.
Every clock below is computed in your browser from the IANA time zone database, so the offsets reflect the daylight-saving rules in force today rather than a value written down once and left to rot.
