NP (SL) Limited has set its position as the leading petroleum marketing company in Sierra Leone, earning both local and international accolades for its exceptional service delivery. Its reputation for excellence is well-deserved, with the company consistently setting benchmarks in customer care and operational transparency.
One of the cornerstones of NP (SL)’s success is its unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. The company has established itself as a leader in prioritizing customer care, ensuring that all transactions are transparent and customer-friendly. Modern calibrated machines at NP (SL)’s Filling Stations accurately pump and display the exact quantity and price of fuel, instilling trust and confidence among customers.
NP (SL) ensures the timely delivery of petroleum products across the country by ensuring that dealers maintain a fleet of well-maintained tanker vehicles. The company’s rigorous maintenance regime guarantees that these vehicles are roadworthy, thus preventing fuel shortages and enhancing safety.
The premier petroleum marketing company has embraced digitization to streamline petroleum marketing. The NP Smart Card, a cashless payment solution, allows customers to prepay for fuel, facilitating budget management and reducing the need for physical cash.
Building on this, the company recently launched the NP Energy Pass Card, a more advanced cashless platform offering online and offline transactions, real-time SMS notifications and robust security features.
In addition to fuel, NP (SL) markets NP Gas, a safe and efficient cooking solution available in various cylinder sizes. The product is environmentally friendly, emitting fewer dangerous gases and is easily refilled at NP (SL) stations and authorized dealers.
NP (SL) has a longstanding policy of prioritizing employment opportunities for qualified Sierra Leoneans. This aligns with the country’s Local Content Policy, which aims to harness local resources and reduce dependency on external sources. By employing locals, the company supports the economy and helps individuals improve their livelihoods.
The indigenous business entity is deeply involved in Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, including environmental awareness, community support and institutional assistance. These efforts complement the Government’s development agenda and contribute to the well-being of Sierra Leoneans.
Expanding its footprint beyond Sierra Leone, NP (SL) has established operations in Guinea, Liberia, Ivory Coast and The Gambia. This regional expansion not only creates job opportunities in these countries but also contributes to their economies through tax revenues used for development projects.
NP (SL) Ltd continues to set a high standard in the petroleum sector, driving innovation, supporting local communities and expanding its reach across West Africa. Its dedication to excellence and social responsibility underscores its role as a vital player in the region’s economic development.
