Since the timezone abbreviation 'WAT' is the same seemingly for both GMT-1 and GMT+1, my suspicion is that it should rather be
Zone Africa/Niamey 0:08:28 - LMT 1912 1:00 - WAT 1934 Feb 26 0:00 - GMT 1960 1:00 - WAT
No, "WAT" is used for both -0100 and +0100. Very strange, but there's commentary about this issue in the "africa" file. The offsets faithfully reflect Shanks (the "WAT" is my own invention).
