Abstract
Mediation is an aspect of Alternative Dispute Resolution. However, despite the growth and advantages of mediation, it is still left undermined, especially in Nigeria where there is no specific legal framework for its application, scope, procedure and accreditation of mediators. This is work researched the practice of mediation in other jurisdictions such as South Africa, Canada and Hong Kong, taking cognizance of the loopholes and challenges experienced by some of these jurisdictions and using them as litmus tests to proffer recommendations for the practice of mediation in Nigeria.
The research methodology used in this work is the library research method. The work relied on primary and secondary sources of information.The work found out that mediation is yet to gain wide acceptance in Nigeria due to many factors, and such factors will continue to debilitate the swift operation of mediation in Nigeria, unless some of the recommendations provided in this work are applied and put into practice.
