Kano
What time is it in Nigeria
About Kano
Kano runs on UTC+1 with no DST. From New York that's 5 hours ahead right now (noon ET = 5 PM in Kano), stretching to 6 hours every November once the US falls back. Northern Nigeria sits close to the equator, so daylight stays around 12.5 hours regardless of season. Local business hours typically start at 08:00 WAT and wind down by 16:00. We've found that East Coast morning calls (before 11 AM ET) catch Kano offices comfortably in their afternoon stretch, while anything after 12:30 ET often runs into Friday Jumu'ah prayers in this Muslim-majority city.
