Abstract

The paper brings into focus the innovations of the New Arbitration and Mediation Act, 2023 of Nigeria. The paper relied on the doctrinal method of research and found that the Arbitration and Mediation Act, 2023 of Nigeria is a great development as it took care of some of the gaps identified under the old Arbitration and Conciliation Act of 1988. It further identified some gaps under the New Arbitration and Mediation Act, 2023 of Nigeria which include outright omission of section 46 of the Act. The paper concludes that the Arbitration and Mediation Act is a welcome development in Nigeria and an alignment with international best practices.
