About the time in Kano
Clocks in Kano stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +1 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Nigeria.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Kano day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 08:00–16:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Kano runs on Africa/Lagos, which puts the city UTC +1 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
