Abstract
The study justified the veracity of National Industrial Court (NIC) in playing role of final arbiter in industrial matters. The National industrial Court was essentially established to adjudicate on all issues emanating from industrial relations and labour market breakdown.NIC combines the rule of law applicable in conventional law courts with flexibility, expediency, reliability and affordability often associated with specialized courts.The potency of NIC was demonstrated in this study with clarity in its resolution of three industrial disputes among numerous others. Ultimately, hydra-industrial conflict which is an unavoidable phenomenon in the world of work now becomes resolvable with the machinery of NIC when properly explored. Keywords: National industrial conflict, conflict resolution, employees' union, labour dispute. DOI: 10.7176/JEP/11-5-12 Publication date: February 29 th 2020

Not in dispute that the implication of such an unstable environment of industrial relations for the economic development of the country is huge. It is in recognition of this fact that the National Industrial court was established to settle expeditiously all industrial disputes referred to it by the Minister of Employment, Labour and Productivity and the interpretation of collective agreement entered into by workers and management representatives (Aturu, 2013)
The National Industrial Court of Nigeria is repositioned with powers to assume expanded jurisdiction on a wide range of issues relating to labour and on employment/industrial related disputes
