People have been reminded
on Saturday night to set their
clocks one hour ahead when
they went to bed.


The U.S. by 2 a.m. (8 a.m.
Nigerian time) on Sunday,
March 12, turned its clocks
forward by an hour to Daylight
Saving Time, from the Standard
Time.
The News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) reports that the change
usually occurs at the second
Sunday in March.
NAN reports that people were
reminded on Saturday night to
set their clocks one hour ahead
when they went to bed.
Daylight saving time is the
practice of
advancing clocks during
summer months by one hour so
that evening daylight lasts an
hour longer, while sacrificing
normal sunrise times.
The period normally adds one
hour to standard time with the
purpose of making better use
of daylight and conserving
energy so that the sunrise and
sunset are one hour later on the
clock than the day before.
When local standard time is
about to reach 2 a.m. (8 a.m.
Nigerian), Sunday, March 12,
2017, clocks are
turned forward by an hour to 3
a.m. (9 a.m. Nigerian), Sunday,
March 12, 2017, local daylight
time instead.
Sunrise and sunset will be one
hour later on Mar 12, 2017 than
the day before, while there will
be more light in the evening.
In the U.S., this has the effect of
creating more sunlight hours in
the evening during months
when the weather is the
warmest.
Also called Spring Forward
and Summer Time, daylight
saving time ends on Nov. 5,
2017.
When local daylight time is
about to reach 2 a.m. on
Sunday, Nov. 5, clocks are
turned backward by one hour
to 1 a.m., Sunday, Nov. 5, local
standard time instead.
Sunrise and sunset will be
about one hour earlier on Nov.
5, 2017 than the day before,
and there will be more light in
the morning.
Also called Fall Back and Winter
Time, daylight saving time
changes do not necessarily
occur on the same date every
year.
In 2016, it was observed at 2
a.m. on Sunday, March 13, while
it reverted to standard time at 2
a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 6.
The transition from standard
time to daylight saving time has
the effect of moving one hour
of daylight from the morning to
the evening.
Similarly, the transition from
daylight saving time to standard
time effectively moves one hour
of daylight from the evening to
the morning.
Daily saving time was formally
introduced in the U.S. in 1918
and most of the country and its
territories currently observe the
time.
However, it is not observed in
Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam,
Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands
and the state of Arizona, with
the exception of the Navajo
Indian Reservation.

Buhari advised Nigerians
to desist from self-drug
administration, observing that
it is a common practice in the
country.


President Muhammadu Buhari
has urged Nigerians to have
more trust in Nigerian doctors.
He stated this while speaking
with Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo and other top
government officials at the
Presidential Villa on Friday,
March 10, hours after his arrival
from the United Kingdom.
"We have to trust our doctors
more and trust ourselves more,"
he said.
Buhari also advised the people
not to indulge in self-
medication.
"I think one of our terrible
things is self-drug
administration," he noted,
adding that "I can’t remember
this drug that Nigerians take so
much, very common."
The President, who just
returned from a medical
vacation in London, said British
people do not take drugs
carelessly.
"Over there they only take drugs
when it is absolutely necessary.
They don’t just swallow
everything," he added.

He recalled the technological
advancement in medical
treatment in the UK, saying "I
found out that technology is
going so fast that if you have a
lot of confidence you better
keep it because you need it.
"Blood transfusions, going to
the laboratories, and so on and
so forth, but I am very pleased
that we, when I say we I mean
the government and the people
all over are trying to keep with
technology," he added.
Buhari arrived the country at
exactly 7:41 a.m on Friday after
spending 49 days in London.
