to keep details of the dispute confidential by any written law or regulation. to keep details of the dispute confidential by any written law or regulation. The importance of maintaining the confidentiality of information disclosed during mediation cannot be overemphasised, and it is imperative that the NSCDC puts in place uniform guidelines/regulations across the country that will regulate its mediating responsibilities.
Also, the NSCDC’s role in dispute resolution is not clearly defined within the broader Nigerian justice system, as it appears the NSCDC encroaches into some disputes only the conventional courts have jurisdiction to handle.There is a need for the NSCDC to offer specialised mediation in a select few listed civil cases and not to dabble into all civil related cases.
Collaboration with Other Stakeholders: The NSCDC should endeavour to collaborate with other stakeholders periodically and continuously, such as traditional leaders, government agencies/parastatals, community-based organisations, and, to provide a multi-faceted approach to mediation. This could include joint mediation sessions, referrals, and support services for parties involved in disputes etc.
