Adeyinka Aroyewun (Deputy Director) Adeyinka was the coordinator of the First, Second and Third African ADR Summits held in Abuja (2006) and Lagos (2007 & 2008) respectively. She explained how the the multi-door initiative in Nigeria pioneered by LAGOS STATE is inspired by Harvard Law Professor, Frank Sander at the Pound Conference.

The overarching objective of The LMDC is to facilitate dispute resolution within the Nigerian Justice System disrobed of the encumbrances of unwieldy, bewildering and costly litigations. It is the first court-connected Alternative Dispute Resolution Centre in Africa.
