This paper examines the Effects of Alternative Dispute Resolution in Organization: in Nigeria: A Case Study of Selected Local Government in Edo State. It evaluates how effective the alternative dispute resolution policy have been able to restructure the political economy of Nigeria to the tune of alleviating the yearnings and aspirations of the working class and/or the Nigeria citizens. Since the early 1990s, the issue of Good Effective Governance has become an important concept in the International Development debates and Policy discourse. Over the last decade however, the gradual accumulation of indicators and research based on them has provided broad support for the arguments that good governance is necessary to achieve sustainable growth and development, particularly in Developing Countries. In the course of this study, the Effects of Alternative Dispute Resolution in Organization in Nigeria, A Case Study of Selected Local Government Area of Edo State were brought to the fore while the objectives of the study are well spelt out. Hypotheses were postulated Theory was used to explain the works. Data were obtained from both primary and secondary sources. From the primary sources, the survey method, that is, the use of questionnaire designed and adopted. Data obtained from this method were analyzed with the aid of Simple Percentage. Thereafter, the five researchable hypotheses were tested and accepted while the null hypotheses were rejected. The implication is that there was a relationship between the dependent and independent variables. Generally, the paper brought to focus that the Alternative Dispute Resolution is a collective effort in reaching a compromise in the management of Local Government Areas in Nigeria and it has contributed immensely to the growth and development of public enterprise elsewhere. Finally, it suggests policy prescription and recommendation which are aimed at repositioning Local Government Administration not only in Edo State in particular, but also in Nigeria in general.
