Abstract
Disputes are inevitable in all spheres of life. These disputes are of different types and are caused by different factors. When disputes arise, efforts are usually made to resolve such disputes. The success or otherwise of the attempt to resolve a matter to a great extent depends on the method adopted. Like in other spheres of life, disputes arise every day in the Nigerian environmental industry. Such disputes take various forms, but the most common environmental disputes are those in the oil and gas industry. Over the years, attempts at resolving environmental disputes have been through litigation or what is sometimes called "the traditional adjudicatory process". This has achieved limited success, and calls have been made for the settlement of environmental disputes by methods such as arbitration. The purpose of this section is to consider the settlement of environmental disputes through arbitration. This research examines the various environmental disputes Mechanisms in Nigeria.
