TEMPLARS Partner, Godwin Omoaka, SAN, FCIArb, and Associate, Ifeoma Solanke, examine how emergency arbitration and interim measures, now formally recognised under Nigeria’s Arbitration and Mediation Act, 2023, offer a strategic layer of risk management in construction disputes.

They highlight the advantages of these mechanisms such as speed, enforceability, and confidentiality, as effective alternatives to traditional court injunctions, particularly in high-value, time-sensitive projects.
The publication also outlines key institutional and contractual considerations for effective adoption, urging construction stakeholders to embed emergency relief provisions and engage arbitral institutions with tested emergency protocols.
