Time difference between Moscow and Lagos

Lagos is 2 hours behind Moscow

Moscow, Russia is UTC+3 · Lagos, Nigeria is UTC+1 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Moscow does not change its clocks and Lagos does not change its clocks — so 2 hours is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.
