Through careful planning, strategic partnerships and a commitment to maintaining a steady fuel supply, the company has effectively avoided disruptions, ensuring that customers can rely on their products whenever needed.
Renowned for offering top notch petroleum products, NP (SL) Ltd has built its brand on delivering premium petrol, diesel and lubricants that customers trust. The company’s lubricants are widely recognized for enhancing engine performance and are readily available at retail outlets across the country. This attention to quality has made NP (SL) Ltd a household name for both individual consumers and commercial operators.
A key pillar of NP (SL) Ltd’s success lies in its strong emphasis on customer care. The company has earned the distinction of being “1st For Customer Care” due to its proactive approach to listening to client feedback and using it to improve service delivery. This customer friendly strategy has helped the company foster loyalty while driving continuous growth.
At NP (SL) Ltd’s Filling Stations, customers benefit from modern, calibrated pumping machines that accurately display fuel quantity and cost. This transparency reinforces customer trust, as they can be confident they are receiving exactly what they pay for. Additionally, the company’s flexibility in payment arrangements for Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) ensures that essential public services remain uninterrupted, even during budgetary delays.
Supporting Sierra Leone’s Local Content Policy has been a priority for NP (SL) Ltd since its establishment. The company actively hires skilled Sierra Leoneans, creating jobs and empowering the local workforce. By keeping revenue within the country, NP (SL) Ltd plays a role in poverty reduction and economic growth.
NP (SL) Ltd is also recognized for its innovative products that meet the changing needs of its customers. Among these is NP Gas, a portable and efficient cooking device available in different cylinder sizes, which has become popular in homes and businesses.
The company has also embraced modern technology by introducing the NP Smart Card, a convenient payment solution that allows customers to buy fuel anytime, even when banks are closed. The card ensures quick, secure transactions and provides an easy-to-use experience.
Building on its track record of innovation, NP (SL) Ltd recently launched the NP Energy Pass Card, part of its “FUBU” (For Us, By Us) initiative. This smart card allows for both online and offline transactions, offers instant SMS notifications, and features advanced security measures like One-Time Passwords (OTPs). The NP Energy Pass Card is a significant step towards a cashless economy, enabling customers to fuel their vehicles independently while giving station owners streamlined access to funds through direct bank credits.
The petroleum marketing company’s success extends beyond Sierra Leone’s borders. The business entity has expanded into neighboring countries such as Guinea, Liberia, Ivory Coast and The Gambia.
These international branches have thrived, contributing to economic stability and job creation in their respective regions. The company’s regional presence underscores its ability to compete on a broader scale, making it a source of pride for Sierra Leone.
In addition to its business achievements, NP (SL) Ltd is a responsible corporate citizen, actively supporting national development initiatives.
As one of the country’s largest taxpayers, the company plays a significant role in funding Government projects and public welfare initiatives. Its consistent tax compliance demonstrates its commitment to contributing positively to Sierra Leone’s growth.
NP (SL) Ltd’s continued success reflects its dedication to quality, customer satisfaction and innovation. As the company expands its operations and introduces new services, it remains at the forefront of the petroleum industry in Sierra Leone and beyond.
