About time in Lagos
Lagos keeps West Africa Time, one hour ahead of UTC, and does not change its clocks — like most of the continent, where the small seasonal variation in day length near the equator makes daylight saving pointless. Its offset makes it a convenient overlap with European working hours, which is part of why it has grown into one of Africa's largest commercial centres.
Planning a call with Lagos? The World Time tool puts it side by side with your other cities and highlights the hours when everyone's working day actually overlaps. For the rules behind these offsets, see time zones and UTC explained.
