This study explore ways of resolving oil and gas disputes especially environmental issues such as oil spillage, gas flaring, effluent discharge etc that create environmental degradation using Alternative Dispute Resolution, ADR mechanisms. The concept of ADR has its origin in African laws, thus is not alien to African people. The study exposes the limitation in environmental litigation through the courts in the oil and gas sector in Nigeria. The limitations are as a result of numbers of factors the most significant being the over bearing influence of the multinational corporations; the enormous support they enjoyed from the Federal Government; weak statutory provisions and limitation of the common law in tackling environmental problem. The study adopted the qualitative methodology in the gathering and analysis of it data. The study examined key legislations on environment guiding the operation of the Nigerian oil industry, case laws and common law principles applicable to the environment and environmental litigation in the Nigerian context. The study also gathered data through the instrumentality of semi-structured interview and focus group discussion with community leaders, environmental activists, alternative disputes resolution practitioners and employees in selected oil multinational corporations in Nigeria. The core problem that informed this study is the examination of the problem of environmental degradation arising from the operation of the oil industry and the associated crisis of neglect, marginalization, loss of livelihood and poverty in the Niger Delta. The core objective of the research is to explore how environmental degradation associated with the operation of the Nigerian oil and gas industry in the Niger Delta has generated endemic systemic conflict and to examine the efficacy of the various initiatives taken by the Nigerian State and the oil multinationals in resolving environmental based and related conflicts in the oil producing areas. The significance of the study lies in its attempt at highlighting the importance of ADR as the most amicable, economical and speedy way of settling disputes that often arise in the course of the operational activities of the oil and gas industry in the Niger Delta. The point being that such disputes deserves to be quickly and speedily resolved via the instrumentality of ADR in order to avoid the destabilization that might arise through long drawn court litigation. The literature confirmed grave environmental devastation in the Niger Delta and the inability of adversarial litigation in ensuring environmental justice in Nigeria. The findings show that there is increasing incidence of disputes that arise out of environmental concern between communities and companies in the region. These disputes are made worse by the failing inability of the court system to deliver environmental justice to claimants in the area. This failing inability is as a result of corrupt practices, obnoxious government policies, fraudulent practices among community leaders, unruly behaviour of multinational oil companies, attempts at avoiding culpability through dubious legal means among other issues. This has hindered efforts at achieving sustainable peaceful community-companies relations. This in turn has led to confrontation between host communities and companies over the control of natural resources and sustainable use of the environment. According to findings of this study litigation has failed the people in the Niger Delta in their struggle for justice. This is also corroborated by existing literature on the issue. Hence ADR is therefore, considered as the best alternative nonadversarial methods of resolving environmental and other related disputes in the Nigerian oil and gas industry in addition to the use of faith based principle if properly implemented.

Broad aspects of Alternative Disputes Resolution (ADR)and Arbitration are covered in this book, with emphasis on the application of ADR to specific areas. It describes in very succinct manner the meaning of ADR, analyses conflict under ADR models, their advantages over courtroom litigation and why it should be embraced. Chapter 5 is a particularly notable contribution to the body of knowledge, where the author demonstrates how it can be used to resolve matters in the heart of society, commercial and political disputes such as investment and election disputes. The book is not only a handy textbook for use by teachers and students, but should also meet the increasing needs of practising lawyers, judges, other professionals and corporate practitioners, oil and banking industries, the trades unions and state agencies concerned with mediation, conciliation and arbitration.

This book presents a critical analysis of how oil and gas exploitation - with huge negative impacts on environment, development, and human security - has constructed a disturbing terrain of civil agitation, state repression, violent conflicts, and insecurity within Nigeria. Drawing on the nature and content of public policy and corporate social responsibility practices, the book interrogates the conflicts' communal and regional dimensions in terms of causality, dynamics, and interventions. In presenting strategies and mechanisms for resolving the diverse dimensions of the resource conflicts, it charts the way towards sustainable development and conflict transformation - two issues which would remain germane to the resource conflict resolution discourse in the specific case of the Niger Delta and beyond.

Nigeria is Africa's largest oil producing country. Oil generates enormous wealth but also extensive and devastating conflict in the country. High Stakes and Stakeholders critically explores the oil conflict in Nigeria, its evolution, dynamics and most significantly, the interplay and consequences of high stake politics for the reproduction and persistence of the conflict. It presents a conceptual anatomy of state-oil industry-society relations and demonstrates how the embedded material interests and accumulation patterns of different stakeholders underlie, shape and complicate both the oil conflict and security. In addition, the book provides key insights into comparable conflicts elsewhere in the global south, developing a logical framework for resolving the oil conflict in Nigeria and for reforming the security sector. This book is valuable reading material for courses in international political economy, social ecology, development studies, African politics, conflict and security studies, and environmental law and management. It will also be of interest to policy practitioners, civil societies and the oil industry.

The recent escalation in the violent conflict in the Niger Delta has brought the region to the forefront of international energy and security concerns. This book analyses the causes, dynamics and politics underpinning oil-related violence in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. It focuses on the drivers of the conflict, as well as the ways the crises spawned by the political economy of oil and contradictions within Nigeria's ethnic politics have contributed to the morphing of initially poorly coordinated, largely non-violent protests into a pan-Delta insurgency. Approaching the issue from a number of perspectives, the book offers the most up-to-date and comprehensive analysis available of the varied dimensions of the conflict. Combining empirically-based and analytic chapters, it attempts to explain the causes of the escalation in violence, the various actors, levels and dynamics involved, and the policy challenges faced with regard to conflict management/resolution and the options for peace. It also examines the role of oil as a commodity of global strategic significance, addressing the relationship between oil, energy security and development in the Niger Delta.
