Abstract: Background; Antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) are critical to the management and treatment of HIV/AIDS, a disease that has claimed millions of lives in Nigeria. Despite progress in the availability of ARVs in the country, achieving and maintaining consistent drug supply remains a challenge, particularly in rural areas. This narrative review explores the supply chain management of ARVs in Nigeria, examining the factors that enable or hinder the effectiveness of the system. Objective; The objective of this review study is to provide a comprehensive and critical overview of the existing literature on the subject by analyzing the progress and challenges associated with the supply chain management of ARVs in Nigeria, identify the key factors that have contributed to the success or failure of ARV supply chain management and to make recommendations for improving the supply chain management effectiveness of ARVs in the country.
