      abstract = {The study assessed the indigenous conflict resolution strategies and peace building in the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. In contemporary times, there has been a growth in disputes and social vices in the Federal Capital and a mounting caseload with the formal litigation courts in the Federal Capital Territory. This resulted from the imperialist's divide and rule policy that weakened the traditional system and the backlash in the 1979 constitution that failed to uphold the administrative role of traditional rulers in society. In view of the foregoing, the study employed primary data sourced from 383 respondents using the questionnaire and interview instruments. The responses were analyzed in line with the research preposition that indigenous conflict resolution among the Gbagyi people does not have effect on peace building in the federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. Inferential statistics was employed to assess the casual relationship between the indigenous conflict resolution among the Gbagyi people and peace building in the Federal Capital Territory, while interview responses were subjected to the qualitative instrument of QDA Milner. The study is hinged on the conflict transformation theory. The result showed a weak effect of indigenous conflict resolution strategies (? = 8.6%) on peace building in the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. This is collaborated by the interview responses which showed that the constitutional backlash of the administrative role of traditional seat and the influx of various ethnicities into the Federal Capital Territory have weakened the efficacies of the traditional system in mediating conflict in the Federal Capital Territory.},
