The NexusADR Annual Public Lecture returns for its second year, and it is free and open.
On Tuesday 15 December 2026, in Makurdi, we take up this year’s theme: cross-border trade and the arbitration clause. It is part of our series on dispute resolution in Northern Nigeria. The afternoon is built to move: a paper, a response panel that brings in the bench, the bar and the business view, and an open floor.
It is open to the bench, the bar, arbitrators and mediators, in-house counsel, the trade and business community, and government and its agencies. There is no charge, but the room is limited. Reserving a seat is how we plan the space and how you make sure there is one for you.
Tuesday 15 December 2026, from 10:00 AM. Eyah’s Hotel and Suites, Makurdi.
The paid NexusADR masterclass on drafting arbitration clauses runs the day before, on Monday 14 December. If you are travelling in for the lecture, consider doing both.
