The objectives of the study were to determine the factors responsible for the persistent and perennial conflicts in Wukari and Takum local government areas, identify the roles played by the elite in escalating or de-escalating conflicts in Wukari and Takum local government areas, identify the attitude of government towards resolving the conflicts and determine the effects of those roles for peaceful coexistence. The theoretical framework adopted for this study is the elite theory which clearly outlines the extent of influence which the elite have in the decision of their societies. The methods of data collection were through questionnaires, interviews, textbooks, journals, archives among other (Primary and secondary sources of data).
