      abstract = {The Nigerian telecom industry has witnessed rapid growth, driven by increasing demand for mobile services. However, the high cost of infrastructure deployment and maintenance has posed significant challenges to operators. Infrastructure sharing and colocation technology have emerged as viable solutions to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and enhance network quality. This study examines the current state of infrastructure sharing and colocation in Nigeria, highlighting the benefits, challenges, and regulatory frameworks governing the practice. The research reveals that infrastructure sharing and collocation can lead to significant cost savings, improved network reliability, and increased coverage. However, challenges such as regulatory complexity, technical compatibility issues, and security concerns must be addressed. The study recommends standardized guidelines, industry collaboration, and investment in emerging technologies to drive the adoption of infrastructure sharing and colocation in Nigeria.},
