How National Abstraction Policy Addresses Domestic Transaction -Malami

 

The Honorable Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN has charged the newly inaugurated members of the National Arbitration Policy Committee to come out with a comprehensive policy that will, among other things, ensure that domestic transactions

originating and terminating in Nigeria are arbitrated in the country.

 

Malami made this known at the Virtual Inaugural meeting of the Committee for the Development of a National Policy on Arbitration in Nigeria, Tuesday 13th October, 2020.

 

He said the proposed National Policy would also provide for sanctions against public officers who do not act in the national interest in the conduct of their official assignments.

 

He stated that the P&ID case has raised concerns on the impact of arbitral cases and awards against the country leading to calls for the

development of a National Policy on Arbitration to guide the arbitral

process and agreements in Nigeria.

 

The Committee was charged with the responsibility of developing

transformational Arbitration Policy framework that addresses issues

relating to arbitration agreements, government contracts, domestic and

foreign contractual relationships and transactions arising or terminating in Nigeria.

 

According to the Minister, the objectives of the proposed policy

include protecting Nigeria’s economy, ensuring that transactions originating and terminating in Nigeria are arbitrated in Nigeria.

 

Other objectives were, having the seats/venues of arbitrations in

Nigeria thereby creating jobs for and maximally harnessing the talents

of Nigerian lawyers who have specialized in Arbitration as well as

saving the country billions of dollars.

 

The Committee was mandated to review the current laws and policies on Arbitration in Nigeria, proffer advice on a new national Arbitration

Policy, draft an Executive Order to support the application of the new

Arbitration Policy across government agencies, develop an implementation plan; and advise on the required infrastructure for setting up a world standard Arbitration Center in Lagos and Abuja.

“Our goal is to create an arbitration hub in Africa and to ensure that Nigeria remains the venue of arbitration for transactions arising from Nigeria. It is expected that the National Arbitration policy will be applied in respect of government contracts, such that arbitration agreements in respect of all disputes arising from governmental contracts,

especially with foreign entities will have Nigeria as the seat of

arbitration,” he said.

 

“It is also expected that the federal and state government agencies

will adopt this policy to be applied to all agencies, which will encourage domestic arbitration and curtail the flight of arbitration to other countries,” he added.

“ I look forward to receiving a copy the National Arbitration Policy. Once completed, the Policy will be presented to the Federal Executive Council for adoption and implementation”, he concluded.

 

The Special Assistant to the President on Justice Reform and International Relations, Barrister Juliet Ibekaku-Nwagwu explained that the Specific Terms of Reference will among others, reveal the current law and policies on Arbitration in Nigeria; Advise on a new National Arbitration Policy; draft an Executive Order to support the application of new Arbitration Policy across Government Agencies.

Mahmoud, SAN, Prof C.J Amasike, of the International Dispute Resolution Institute (IDRI) Mr. Akin Sowemimo, Mr Lawal Hassan from the Federal Ministry of Power, Mrs. Halima L. Halilu from the Bureau of Public Enterprises.

 

Other Members of the Committee are Wilfred Ikatari, the Director

Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration, Mr G. Umar

Andumar, Head of Legal, Nigerian Ports Authority, Chike Okoye Rep. of

the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, the Minister of Budget

and National Planning.

 

The Committee also comprises of representatives from Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Nigerian National Petroleum

Cooperation (NNPC), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), Ministry of Power, Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Works and Housing, Bureau for Private Enterprises, and representatives
