This study examines ‘‘The Role Of Traditional Political Institutions In Conflict Resolution In Nguru Emirate, Yobe State, Nigeria, Between 2007-2012 A.D.’’ Traditional political institutions, particularly the Emirate Councils have historically played a vital role in maintaining social harmony, mediating disputes, and fostering community cohesion. However, of great relevance and importance is the need to bring into light that in the course of conducting the study, both published, unpublished and oral traditions were equally used for a proper historical reconstruction to be attained. The study discovered how these institutions managed conflicts during the period under review, exploring the methods employed, the nature of conflicts addressed, and the effectiveness of their interventions. Furthermore, the findings reveal that traditional political institutions remain central to grassroots conflict resolution, offering culturally rooted mechanisms that are often faster, more trusted, and less adversarial than formal legal processes. However, the study also highlights several challenges faced by these institutions, including political interference, erosion of authority and limited legal backing. The research recommends strengthening the synergy between traditional and modern conflict resolution frameworks to enhance peace building efforts in the region. Finally, the study has suggested the way forward.
