Abstract: Tradition is fundamental to any society, thus the role that Igbo traditional rulers play in promoting peace along with preserving Igbo culture cannot be overstated. By examining the “role of Igbo traditional rulers: A path to peace” in the Igbo community, this study aims to advance our understanding of the traditional leadership role, responsibilities on peace-building and conflict resolution, the historical forces that underpin the theories and philosophies of the Igbo traditional leadership structure, and the underlying causes of the violence, crises, unrest, murders, and insecurity that characterize Igbo society presently. This study applied a qualitative research methodology. The study employed a variety of sources to gather both primary and secondary data. The study found that, among other crucial factors, traditional rulers’ ability to maintain the historical values that underpin their esteemed standing in Igbo culture and customs and their cooperation with the government in the drafting of programs and policies will have a significant impact on their ability to promote peace within the Igbo community. This study is relevant because it aims to address a critical problem that, if ignored, might affect the society, and the economic conditions of the Igbo people. This study offers some recommendations, with the hope that the appropriate authorities will consider them.
