About the time in Lokoja
Lokoja sits at latitude 7.80, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 20m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:26 and sunset at 06:46 local time, giving 12h 20m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (7.80, 6.74) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Lokoja.
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.
