ILR is the airport code for Ilorin International Airport, serving Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State in west-central Nigeria. Ilorin is a large, historic city that sits at a cultural crossroads, on the boundary between the largely Yoruba southwest of Nigeria and the Hausa and Fulani north, and it has long been an important centre where these cultures meet. The city has a rich heritage, with a strong Islamic tradition and history as an emirate, busy markets, and a reputation as a centre of learning, home to major universities. It is known for crafts such as pottery and woodcarving, and for its role as a regional commercial hub. Ilorin is reached by flights into its international airport, from Lagos, Abuja and other cities, and by road, as it lies on important routes between the north and south of Nigeria. The climate is hot, with a rainy season and a drier, dusty harmattan period.
