NP (SL) continues to stand tall as Sierra Leone’s leading petroleum marketing company, an indigenous success story that has redefined service delivery, innovation and safety in the energy sector. Fully owned and operated by Sierra Leoneans, NP (SL) has become a household name, trusted for its reliability, accessibility and strong customer care culture.
Recognized nationwide as “1st for Customer Care,” the company has built a reputation for consistently prioritizing customer satisfaction. Whether in city centers or remote towns, NP (SL)’s commitment to serving individuals and businesses, with professionalism and efficiency, remains at the forefront of its operations.
One of the company’s most transformative innovations is the NP Energy Pass Card; a digital payment solution that allows customers to buy fuel in advance and monitor their consumption with ease and transparency. This modern tool enhances fuel management, reduces risks linked to cash handling and offers convenience for both individual and corporate clients.
NP (SL) also markets NP Gas, a clean and environmentally friendly cooking solution that is helping to shift households away from harmful traditional fuels. Readily available at NP stations and through authorized dealers, NP Gas is safer, more efficient and aligns with the country’s drive toward sustainability and environmental protection.
While NP (SL)’s innovative services and expanding footprint are central to its success, the company’s strongest focus lies in its unwavering commitment to health and safety at the workplace. Safety is deeply ingrained in the company’s culture, with strict protocols in place at all levels, from fuel depots to Filling Stations, to protect staff, customers and the wider public. Regular safety training and compliance checks ensure that operations meet the highest national and international standards.
In addition, NP (SL) places employee wellbeing and professional development at the heart of its corporate strategy. The company provides a supportive work environment that promotes capacity building, inclusivity and job satisfaction. It is this people-first approach that has created a motivated workforce and sustained operational excellence over the years.
NP (SL)’s expansion across Sierra Leone has also played a vital role in reducing energy poverty. By establishing service stations in underserved and hard-to-reach areas, the company has increased access to petroleum products, supported local economic activity and contributed to national development.
From innovation to safety, from clean energy to human capital development, NP (SL) Ltd remains a shining example of private sector leadership in Sierra Leone. Its enduring success reflects not only sound business practices but a deep-rooted commitment to advancing the country’s energy goals and improving lives across all regions.
