Did You Know?
Ibadan was for much of the 20th century the largest city in tropical Africa by area, a sprawl of rusted roofs visible from the hills. Nigeria's first university opened here in 1948.
The clock: Ibadan keeps UTC+1. Its Cocoa House, finished in 1965, was the tallest building in tropical Africa at the time — paid for, as the name says, by cocoa.
Ibadan lies at 4.0°E. Its time zone, UTC+1, is built around the 15°E meridian. The 11.0° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 44 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:44 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+1 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 12h 33m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 11h 42m. The swing between them is 52 minutes. Within a few degrees of the equator the length of the day barely moves all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Ibadan the sun comes up earliest on 27 May at 06:26, while the latest sunset waits until 17 July at 19:05. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Ibadan that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
