Effective working capital management is crucial for the success and sustainability of listed pharmaceutical firms in Nigeria. The study examined the working capital management on firm’s value: evidence from listed pharmaceutical firms in Nigeria. The specific objectives are to determine the effect of average collection period (ACP), average payment period (APP), cash conversion cycle (CCC) and inventory conversion period (ICP) on value of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria. This study adopted an ex-post facto research design. The population of this study consists of all listed pharmaceutical companies on the floor of the Nigeria Exchange Group as at
31st December, 2021. There are eleven (11) listed pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria. Due to unavailability of data five (5) companies are used for the sample size of this study. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive techniques such as minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation and inferential techniques such as correlation and regression analysis. The study revealed that average collection period (ACP), average payment period (APP), cash conversion cycle (CCC) and inventory conversion period (ICP) have significant effect on value of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The study conclude that the working capital management
