  2. Mediation: If direct communication doesn't resolve the issue, we can engage a neutral mediator.
  3. Arbitration: As a last resort, disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration in Nigeria.

Most issues can be resolved through clear communication and a commitment to finding mutually beneficial solutions.
