Lagos to Sydney: Time Difference & Best Time to Meet

8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Lagos is when Sydney is also working, at 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM their time. Because Sydney is 9 hours ahead of Lagos, the shared window is only about 1 hour. A fixed slot at 8:00 AM in Lagos (5:00 PM in Sydney) saves a lot of back-and-forth. Because only Sydney changes its clocks, the overlap above isn't fixed; expect a one-hour shift when Sydney enters or leaves daylight saving.
