Jega's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Nigeria. They are drawn from Jega's own coordinates (12.2234°N, 4.3797°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Jega's prayer times are worked out

From Jega, the Qibla is 70° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,899 km (2,423 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Jega's own coordinates (12.22°N, 4.38°E), not a national average. That is why Jega's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Jega timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Jega lies well west inside its Lagos time zone. So the sun peaks about 51 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:41 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 10m near June down to 12h 41m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Jega come from the Muslim World League. The Muslim World League method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Birnin Kebbi, Sokoto and Dosso. Each is only a few minutes off Jega's clock.
