Chairman of the Alliance for Economic Research and Ethics, Dele Oye, has praised Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Prince Lateef Fagbemi for his role in protecting Nigeria from more than $14 billion in major international arbitration claims. In a tribute titled 'When the Republic Found Its Voice,' Oye said the Attorney-General's handling of major international disputes had demonstrated that Nigeria could no longer be treated as an easy target in international arbitration. He cited the P&ID, Sunrise Power and European Dynamics cases as evidence of a stronger and more determined legal defence of Nigeria's economic interests. According to him, the cases collectively involved more than $14 billion in stated claims or potential exposure.
