    Continuous demand, by end users, has become an issue with respect to the scarce resources of radio frequency spectrum. In this paper we conducted a 24-hour outdoor measurement of spectrum occupancy, in both rural and urban areas in Kwara State, Nigeria, spanning across the frequency range of 48.5 MHz – 880 MHz. The results obtained show that the mean average duty cycle for TV bands 1-4 and CDMA band in rural and urban locations are 2.58 % and 12.02% and 0.25% and 3.13% respectively. Findings from this measurements show that there is ample opportunity for deployment of cognitive radio for a more efficient utilization of the spectrum.
