Redeemer’s University Lecture Examines How Technology Could Reshape Dispute Resolution

Redeemer’s University’s Faculty of Law hosted its 2026 Distinguished Personality Lecture in honour of Justice Adedotun Adedamola Grace Onibokun. Professor Tayo Bello of Babcock University delivered a lecture on how alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is changing with online platforms and artificial intelligence. The event was chaired by the faculty’s dean, Professor Oluwaseun O. Ajayi (SAN), and hosted by the Faculty of Law Students’ Representative Council. Bello argued that technology should support, not replace, traditional ADR. He proposed a human-centred approach that protects due process, confidentiality, party autonomy and access to justice while making use of online dispute resolution and AI. He recommended that Nigeria develop a framework for online dispute resolution, including standards for security, accessibility and procedural fairness. He also called for clear rules on AI use, human oversight and accountability. Justice Onibokun is a former Osun State Director of Public Prosecutions and a High Court judge, and is a fellow of professional arbitration and mediation institutes.
