About the time in Potiskum
Sunrise today lands at 06:05 and sunset at 06:31 local time, giving 12h 27m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (11.71, 11.16) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Potiskum.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Potiskum 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.
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.
