On the 30th of May 2023, the President of the Institute of Chartered Mediators and Conciliators (ICMC), Agada John Elachi Ph.D., FICMC, FCIArb (UK) led a delegation to pay a courtesy call on the Honourable the Chief Judge of Ogun State, Honourable Justice (Dr.) Mosunmola Arinola Dipeolu, FICMC, FHNR to submit to his lordship a concept note for the hosting of the 1st Annual ADR Conference for Judicial officers to be co-hosted by the Ogun State Judiciary and the Institute.

His lordship received the ICMC delegation in company of the Chief Registrar of the High Court of Ogun State, the Deputy Chief Registrar, Legal, the Deputy Chief Registrar Administration, the Deputy Chief Registrar Special Duties and the Special Assistant to the Honourable Chief Judge.

In his brief remark, the President commended his lordship for the sterling work that she is doing at the Ogun State Judiciary, and the great progress and achievements that have been recorded in her tenure. The President also notified my lord that the visit was a fallout of the ICMC 2022 Annual Conference where ICMC and Ogun State judiciary agreed to partner to provide training for judicial officers on ADR with a view to enhancing access to justice.

Thereafter, the President of the Institute presented to my lord the concept notes for the proposed 1st ADR Conference for Judicial Officers. The President also presented to my lord the report of the 2-day workshop for Directors of Multi-Door Courthouses and Heads of Private Dispute Resolution Centers which was held on the 3rd and 4th of May 2023.

His lordship in her remarks commended the President and ICMC for remaining committed to the idea of organizing an ADR conference for all Judicial officers which was birthed in November 2022. His lordship approved the concept note and stated that within 2 weeks she will assign relevant officers within the Judiciary to work with ICMC towards the planning of this landmark event.

The key objectives/goals of the conference as captured in the concept note are:

  • That all judicial officers acquire basic knowledge of the workings of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms and the attendant benefits to the effective administration of justice.
  • Provide a platform for sharing knowledge among judicial officers and relevant stakeholders on the workings of ADR.
  • Provide a peer review platform for sharing the experience of the implementation of ADR in states where it is currently being applied successfully.
  • Set the tune and a possible action plan on how to build foundational structures and mind change in the entire judiciary for a transformational change in the way administration of justice is viewed and applied.
  • To encourage judicial officers to increasingly manage proceedings in Court and issue orders which would encourage the adoption of ADR methods in dispute resolution.
  • To mandatorily refer parties directly to the Multi-door Courthouse and other ADR centers (where available) to explore settlement of their dispute in appropriate circumstances.
  • To ensure the adoption and enforcement of the Terms of Settlement reached at the ADR session in the same manner as a Judgment or Order of Court.

In delivering the vote of thanks, Amb. ’Segun Ogunyannwo, FICMC, CEDR, thanked his lordship for receiving the ICMC delegation despite her very busy schedule. He also thanked his lordship for agreeing to partner with ICMC and remarked that this is a confirmation of his lordship’s dedication and commitment to the spread and development of ADR and the advancement of the effective administration of Justice.

The courtesy visit ended with a group photograph.

The Institute as part of its objectives to ensure that the practice of Mediation is mainstreamed in Nigeria and indeed Africa by providing technical support and partnering with organizations and ADR bodies set out to organize this workshop.


This workshop was necessitated by the fact that Multi-Door Court Houses and ADR centers have proven to be highly effective in reducing the backlog of cases in traditional courts, providing more efficient and cost-effective dispute resolution methods, and promoting greater access to justice for all.


The President of the Institute, Agada John Elachi Ph.D., in his opening remarks on day one noted that it is his hope that the workshop will highlight and headline the successes, challenges and dynamics of each stakeholder and avail all participants a learning experience.


He added that this legacy initiative will be a platform where distinguished stakeholders in the administration of justice can meet annually to brainstorm, peer review and agree on how they can continue to maintain best practice and standards.


Finally, he mentioned that ICMC stands ready to partner with all delegates to advance the effective administration of justice in the country.


In attendance were Directors and representatives of the following Multi-door Court houses in Nigeria: Ondo, Edo, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Kano, Abuja, Kaduna, Gombe, Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa, Abia, Enugu, Imo, Regional heads of National Industrial Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Centres, Federal High Court ADR Center, The ECOWAS Commission and GIZ.


Heads and representatives of the following Private Dispute resolution centers were also in attendance: Intercede Center for Arbitration and Mediation, The Mediation Place, Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration, Nigerian Chambers of Commerce Dispute Resolution Center, Janada International Centre for Arbitration and Mediation and Mediation Training Institute.


Participants of the workshop had the privilege of listening to erudite speakers like Hon. Justice Ishaq Bello (rtd.), Hon. Justice Solomon Olugbemi, Dr. Brown Ogbeifun, Amb. Segun Ogunyannwo, Mrs. Caroline Etuk, Aisha Ado Abdullahi and a host of others.
Delegates gained practical skills, insights and knowledge on the role of Multi-door Courthouses (MDCH) in the Speedy Dispensation of Justice, Ethical Issues for Dispute Resolution officers Enforcement of Settlement Agreements at the MDCH, and how Multi-door Court Houses and ADR Centers can collaborate for maximum efficiency in dispute resolution service delivery by leveraging on the ICMC Volunteer Mediator’s Scheme and ICMC ODR Platform.


The workshop provided an avenue for delegates to expand their knowledge on current developments/practices, network and establish valuable connections.
It is our hope that delegates will maximize this opportunity effectively and implement the valuable lessons learnt in their respective multi-door court Houses and ADR Centres.
