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.

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.
