Respected Senior Advocate of Nigeria and Professor of Corporate Governance, Fabian Ajogwu, SAN, is billed to headline one of the most anticipated sessions at the 2025 Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference (NBA-AGC), taking place in Enugu, the ever-vibrant Coal City State.
A founding partner at Kenna Partners and one of Nigeria’s foremost arbitration experts, Prof. Ajogwu brings decades of experience to a conversation that cuts to the core of dispute resolution in Nigeria.
On Monday, August 25, 2025, at 3:00 PM, he will lead the session titled
“Relitigating Alternative Dispute Resolution in Nigeria”, a hard-hitting exploration of the paradoxes undermining ADR’s efficacy in our legal system.
While ADR was envisioned as a genuine alternative—not a mere appendage—to litigation, offering faster, specialized, and less technical dispute resolution, the Nigerian experience has seen an alarming trend where Arbitral Awards are routinely dragged into litigation.
This defeats the very purpose ADR was meant to serve. Prof. Ajogwu and a distinguished panel will address how to safeguard ADR’s original intent, resist over-judicialization, and re-establish trust in its outcomes.
Registration for the NBA-AGC is still ongoing! Lawyers are encouraged to secure their slots for what promises to be an enriching and solutions-driven experience.
This year’s conference is poised to be the best yet—insightful sessions, powerhouse speakers, and an unforgettable professional gathering in the East.
