Ibadan is the capital and most populous city of Oyo State, set at an elevation of around 230 metres in southwestern Nigeria. With about 2.55 million residents in the city and approximately 4.3 million across its metropolitan area, it is one of Nigeria's largest urban centres and, at roughly 3,080 square kilometres, the country's largest city by land area. At the time of Nigeria's independence in 1960, Ibadan was the largest and most populous city in the country and the second-most populous in Africa after Cairo.
During the 19th century, Ibadan served as the capital of the Ibadan Republic, one of the most powerful states of contemporary Yorubaland. In more recent times it has been ranked among the fastest-growing cities in sub-Saharan Africa and joined the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities in 2016. Its Muslim community is part of the city's long-established and diverse religious life, with mosques serving neighbourhoods across the metropolitan area.
Prayer Times in Ibadan
Ibadan keeps West Africa Time (UTC+1) all year with no daylight saving, so prayer times shift only gradually with the seasons. Sitting near the equator at about 7.4 degrees north, the city sees little variation in day length across the year, which keeps the five daily prayer times relatively stable from month to month compared with cities at higher latitudes. Times shown here are calculated using the Muslim World League method.
Ramadan in Ibadan
During Ramadan, Muslims in Ibadan observe the fast from dawn (Fajr) until sunset (Maghrib). Because the city lies close to the equator, the length of the fasting day stays fairly consistent throughout the year, so daily fasting hours change only modestly as Ramadan moves through the seasons over time.
The suhoor (pre-dawn meal) ends at the start of Fajr, and the fast is broken at Maghrib with iftar. Checking the daily Fajr and Maghrib times on this page helps families and worshippers across Ibadan plan their suhoor, iftar, and Taraweeh prayers accurately during the month.
