About Igbo-Ora Time Zone
Igbo-Ora uses the Africa/Lagos IANA time zone, which is the standard time zone used across most of Nigeria.

This is the same offset used by major Nigerian cities such as Lagos, Ibadan, Abuja, and Kano.
Igbo-Ora does not observe daylight saving time (DST). Nigeria remains on UTC+1 year-round, so there are no seasonal clock changes in March, October, or November.
