Mr. Babatunde Fagbohunlu was recently appointed Secretary to the National Committee on the Reform and Harmonisation of Arbitration & ADR Laws.

The objectives of the Committee are to review Nigeria’s laws on arbitration and other ADR mechanisms with a view to proposing necessary reforms; to bring the laws in line with modern trends, and to perform such other acts as are necessary for the realisation of the objective of giving Nigeria a modern law and procedure on alternative disputes resolution. The Committee is presently preparing a draft Federal Arbitration & Conciliation Bill.
