The study used purposive sampling technique in selecting the key informants from the target population. Both primary and secondary sources of data were used to extract data. The data obtained from the field was analysed through interpreting and transcribing of interviews based on thematic content analysis. The findings of this paper revealed that the successful way of managing conflict between Muslim and Christian is through dialogue. Another finding also confirmed that religious leaders sat together and brought out issues in order to address conflicts. Lastly, the government relocate the local government headquarter from Tafawa Balewa to Bonunu town in order to have lasting solution to ethno-religious conflicts within the affected areas. The study concluded that religious leaders played an important role in promoting peace, among different faith groups in order to embrace one another, to live in good faith despite the fact that they came from different religion. The study recommends that religious leader should continue promoting sustainable peace across the state and beyond. Moreover, the government should work with religious leaders and other faith based organisations in promoting peace sensitization within the state and beyond.
