dc.description.abstractRadio frequency is a scarce resource and public property which must be managed and utilized for public good. Its scarcity throws up serious challenges for managers of the radio frequency spectrum, and even users across the world. There is obvious high demand for radio frequency for different purposes ranging from broadcasting to telecommunications and marine navigation. This global scramble for available spectrum requires a lot of intellectual ingenuity to manage in the interest of the public. Most developed nations of the world, e.g. the US, have literally exhausted their share of the radio frequency spectrum and are continually devising means of conserving what is available and also exploring the lower and higher frequencies for alternative purposes. This paper examines the situation in Nigeria and the role which digitization plays in frequency utilization as Nigeria journeys towards broadcast digitization in 2015 not without considering particularly, the seemingly rapid growth in the Nigerian telecommunications industry, which is a great user of the radio frequency. It will consider the need for, and ways of sharing frequencies among users for different purposes, and frequency conservation or dual utilization of frequency among others, as ways of utilizing the limited radio spectrumen_US
