Why people convert Nigeria to AWST time

Scheduling a call from Nigeria to AWST: a 10:00 AM start in Nigeria lands at 5:00 PM in AWST, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Nigeria and AWST are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM WAT time (4:00 PM–5:00 PM AWST). That is roughly 1 hours of usable overlap.
Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in Nigeria is 3:00 AM in AWST makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM WAT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +7h gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–10:00 AM WAT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Nigeria and need AWST colleagues present.
