Abstract
Peaceful resolution of disputes through ADR mechanisms now seems to be the emerging trend. Globally
ADR had since been accepted as a viable and veritable means of resolving disputes. However, there
have been various arguments and controversies on what constitute ADR and whether it includes
Arbitration. In Nigeria for example when ADR is mentioned the general perception and understanding
of an average person is reference to Arbitration. Thus, this paper adopts the narrative as well as the
comparative analysis to interrogate some perspectives to espouse the nexus, disparities and ultimately
determine whether Arbitration is part and parcel of ADR or not. The paper shows and found that both
mechanisms are geared toward peaceful and harmonious settlement of disputes.
