About the time in Abuja
The zone identifier Africa/Lagos is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Lagos keeps pointing at Lagos time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Abuja sits at latitude 9.06, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 23m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Around 2,690,000 people live in Abuja, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
