GET
NGX market open/close status
The status endpoint tells you whether the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) is currently trading, and if not, exactly why and when it will next open. All times are computed in the Africa/Lagos timezone (WAT, UTC+1). The NGX trading session runs Monday–Friday, 09:00–16:00 WAT, excluding public holidays.

The reason field

When is_open is false, the next_open object tells you the date, UTC timestamp, and human-readable label for the next opening. For holiday closures, the holiday object provides the name of the holiday.
