Prayer time settings for Nigeria
The prayer time settings for Nigeria define the calculation options available when viewing Salah and prayer times for locations in Nigeria. These settings control how Fajr, sunrise, Zohar, Asar, Magrib and Isha are calculated, and they help keep the displayed timetable consistent for towns and cities across the country.
By default, Nigeria prayer times use the Egyptian General Authority of Survey prayer method, the None high latitude method and the Shafi Asar method. You can keep these defaults for a standard timetable, or choose another supported option on individual prayer time pages when a different local convention is needed.

Using Nigeria prayer settings
Prayer calculation settings are useful because different communities may follow different calculation methods for twilight, high latitude handling and the Asar shadow rule. The default settings shown on this page are applied automatically when you open a prayer timetable for Nigeria, so most visitors can view times without changing anything.
If you need to compare methods, open a location in Nigeria and adjust the settings on the prayer times page. The timetable will update using the selected method while keeping the country-supported options listed here. This makes it easier to check how Fajr, Isha or Asar may differ before printing, downloading or sharing prayer times.
The supported method lists also explain which settings are available for Nigeria and which option is treated as the default. Unsupported calculation choices are hidden so that generated timetables remain within the configuration intended for this country.
