Abstract
Security, Peace and Conflict management is now of global concern. Their effective management may lead to
peace, human and material development, while their mismanagement may lead to chaos and crises. Conflicts are
of various types, but the prevalent one rampaging Nigeria today is the economically induced conflict. Due to bad
management of economy, un-even distribution of state wealth, embezzlement of state funds, conflict now becomes
a phenomenon defies of common solution in Nigeria. Premised on this, this paper examines the basic principle of
security, peace and economically-induced conflict vis-a-vis the progressive tax system. The paper raises issues on
the Nigerian tax system, types and causes of conflict and the interrelationship between peace, security and
conflict. The paper further examines the jurisprudential basis of using progressive tax system to manage
economically-induced conflict and concludes that, progressive tax system could effectively be used to tackle
economically-induced conflict in Nigeria.
