Abstract
This paper, considered mathematical modeling of drug infection transmission in northern region of Taraba state. The SEIR model was proposed and was used to analyze the existence and stability of drugs free equilibrium and an endemic equilibrium of the system. The reproduction number of the model was obtained and it’s has unique solution and significant effect in determining their stability. The finding suggests proper policies and rehabilitation programs along with implementation would reduce drug infections transmission in Northern Taraba State, Nigeria.
Keywords: Drug crime, reproduction number, lyapunov function, LaSalle’s invariance principle
