How prayer times are calculated in Nigeria

Pages for Nigeria use the Muslim World League method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 17° below the horizon. Times are shown in local time (UTC+1). In the capital Abuja, Fajr is about 4:55 AM and Maghrib 6:51 PM around 21 June, whereas around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:25 AM and Maghrib at 6:16 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 36 min to 12 h 39 min.

Our cities in Nigeria stretch from Badagry in the west to Gamboru in the east, and from Illela in the north to Bonny in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Gamboru about 45 minutes before Badagry, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also differs between north and south, most of all in summer and winter, so the timetable of Abuja is no substitute for that of your own city.

Ramadan in Nigeria

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected around 8 February 2027), the fast in Abuja lasts about 12 h 59 min at the start of the month and 13 h 11 min at the end, with imsak at 5:29 AM and iftar at 6:38 PM on the first day. These times change from one city to another, so open your city’s page for its exact Ramadan timetable.

To find your city quickly, type its name in the search box at the top of the page, or go through the regions above. On every page you will find today’s times with a countdown, a monthly timetable you can print and links to nearby cities.
