Why is Nigeria on GMT plus 1?

Nigeria is on GMT plus 1 (West Africa Time, WAT) primarily due to its geographical location. The country is situated slightly west of the prime meridian, which runs through Greenwich, England, and GMT plus 1 reflects its position relative to this reference point. Additionally, the time zone helps standardize time across the nation for administrative and economic purposes. This alignment also facilitates synchronization with neighboring countries that share the same time zone.
