Daylight saving · 2028.

Nigeria does not observe daylight saving time. The clock stays fixed.

What changes

Zone
Africa/Lagos · the IANA timezone for Nigeria's capital region. Some large countries (US, Brazil, Russia) span multiple zones — this page shows the headline zone.
Why DST?
It shifts daylight from morning to evening during summer. Most countries near the equator skip it (sunrise/sunset shift little across the year). Several US states and EU member states have proposed abolishing it.
