Mediation in Nigeria
The Lagos State Citizens Mediation Centre has said said it
resolved 36,788 disputes between January and October 2018.
The Director, CMC, Mrs Omotola Rotimi, disclosed this in Yaba,
Lagos, during a road show to sensitise residents of Lagos to the
need to embrace tolerance as part of activities marking this year’s
World Tolerance Day.
She said the CMC had handled 40,875 disputes and resolved about
90 per cent of such cases, which amounted to 36,788 disputes.
Rotimi said majority of the resolved cases bordered on
landlord-tenant disputes, property inheritance, marital dispute,
child custody, monetary claims, among others.
Rotimi said the centre was interested in decongesting the
prisons and police cells, stressing that people had now come to
embrace the Alternative Dispute Resolution rather than going to
court.
The CMC boss said, “The World Tolerance Day is celebrated to
sensitise people to the need for tolerance which can solve many
problems in the country if embraced.
