About the time in Takon
The zone identifier Africa/Porto-Novo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Porto-Novo keeps pointing at Porto-Novo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:43 and sunset at 07:01 local time, giving 12h 18m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (6.65, 2.62) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Takon.
Takon follows the civil time used across its region of Benin; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
