dc.description	Boko Haram is an Islamic sect that thinks a gang of corrupt, fraudulent Muslims has taken control of northern Nigerian politics. It aspires to wage war on them, as well as the Federal Republic of Nigeria as a whole, in order to establish a “pure” Islamic state governed by sharia law. Boko Haram has been planting bombs in public places and churches in Nigeria's northeast practically weekly since August 2011. The group's goals have also been expanded to include setting fire to schools. Twelve public schools in Maiduguri were burned down in the middle of the night in March 2012, displacing up to 10,000 students. Nigerian Islamist militant organization, Jam'at ahl as-sunnah li-d-da'wa wa-l-jihd, began with young radicals in Maiduguri, Borno state. The group's name, "Boko Harm," translates to "Western education is immoral or a sin," referring to its antagonism to Western civilization and its corrupting Muslims.	en_US
dc.description.abstract	This paper proposes an optimal control of intervention strategies for the Boko Haram menace, taking into account media campaigns against Boko Haram rehabilitation of Boko-Haram detainees , and the deployment of military force against Boko Haram as controls. The Boko-Haram free equilibrium, present equilibrium and the basic Boko-Haram reproduction number were obtained. Based on the results of the stability analysis, it appears that the Boko-Haram free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when and otherwise when . The Boko Haram presence equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when and unstable if The Boko-Haram model was updated while using the three control strategies. The Pontryagin's Maximum Principle was utilized to control Boko Haram, revealing a significant decrease in leaders, foot soldiers, and recruiters, and recommending government funding for rehabilitation programs.	en_US
