Myriads of issues and challenges confront man in the human society which in no small measure generate conflicts and hamper mutual co-existence. Conflict is as old as humanity and it will be a wishful thinking to try to legislate it out of existence. This paper adopted descriptive and analytical method. It relies on secondary sources of data such as the academic journal articles, textbooks, newspaper and online materials. Due to the divergence of views and interests that nurture conflicts, efforts should be intensified and engineered in the mechanisms of resolving the multitude of complicated conflicts and issues confronting humanity in the human society. The imperative of conflict resolution is so paramount and desirable because If this policy is not pursued religiously, the ugly side of the human nature will be activated which has the potentials and capacity to destroy society and its environment. This work extensively examined the concept of conflicts and its underlining implications in the society. Indeed, as we noted in this work, conflict is not always a negative phenomenon, sometimes conflict is an agent and process of positive social change. The necessity of resolving conflicts amicably and effectively was highlighted bearing in mind its multiplier effect in the polity and society at large. In conclusion, various approaches to conflict resolution were analysed in this work which will help in resolving and managing conflicts that will engender peace, harmony and societal development.
