Despite the global and local challenges confronting the petroleum industry, NP (SL) has consistently maintained its mission of ensuring that Sierra Leoneans have access to quality fuel and related products at all times.
For decades, the company has cultivated a solid reputation built on efficiency, innovation and a steadfast focus on customer satisfaction.
