About the time in Samaru
Samaru sits at latitude 11.16, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 26m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:19 and sunset at 06:45 local time, giving 12h 26m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (11.16, 7.65) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Samaru.
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.
