Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), and President of Nigerian Bar Association, Mazi Afam Osigwe (SAN), have called for urgent reforms to strengthen arbitration and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) across Africa.
They warned that without robust ADR frameworks, the continent risked losing billions of dollars in potential economic value.
The call was made yesterday at the 46th NICArb International Arbitration and ADR Conference held at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.
