GET
NGX market open/close status
The status endpoint tells you at a glance 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.
