| dc.description.abstract | The comparative advantages of arbitration over litigation in recent times have made it increasingly necessary for businessmen to include arbitration clauses in international contracts. However, the arbitral proceedings and subsequent award will amount to a colossal waste of time and resources if a winning party to the arbitral proceedings is unable to have the award enforced. The focus of this chapter is, therefore, an examination of the historical developments of the enforcement regimes of arbitral awards in Nigeria. the various legislations, from the colonial period till present, relating to the enforcement of arbitral awards in Nigeria are discussed in the chapter. Before the era of colonialism in Nigeria, the natives who inhabited the place now known as Nigeria used to settle disputes and differences in accordance with the prevailing customary rules and practices of the time. Indeed, the arrival of the English and the introduction of Western contracts with the attendant international flavor made the use of native forms of dispute resolution grossly inadequate. | |
