It has been an indisputable fact that the National Petroleum (NP) Sierra Leone limited, through its operations of importing and marketing of high grade petroleum products not only in the country but in some countries within the West African sub-region is indeed making it a possibility for our vehicles, homes and offices to be vibrantly running and in good order. With quality diesel, petrol in our vehicles and parts well lubricated by using Castrol oi and others, we are able to travel to places, near and far.
Our generators in our homes and offices will beat fine and work well when NP petroleum products are used so are the country’s thermal plants that complement the generation and supply of electricity from hydro plants will continue to meet consumers’ demands as long as the requisite institutions mandated to provide such are utilizing the right products imported by the renowned oil marketing company. We will continue to have sumptuous breakfasts, lunches and dinner in a timely manner when the dependable NP Gas is always used optimally to prepare our lovely dishes. The bottom line is that society will become worthy and conducive of living when the availability of the right sets of petroleum products, like those brought in by NP are well made use of.
It is irrefutable to maintain that NP-SL is flying this nation’s flag in Guinea, Liberia, The Gambia and Ivory Coast where it is doing remarkably well. The company is operating effectively well in these countries, providing jobs for many, as well as revenue to the government through timely payment of taxes.
Established by certain Sierra Leoneans years back, NP has grown to become one of the most successfully indigenous companies in this country. Because of its strength through effective management, the company was able to open branches in the aforementioned West African states.
An outstanding reason why this indigenous company is making exceptional inroads is simply because customer care is always paramount; with management ensuring that customer satisfaction is prioritized.
The company truly deserves commendation in that direction. With well-motivated members of staff who know how to efficiently treat customers, NP has become endearing to many.
In all the five West African countries where NP is operating, the company always ensures that petroleum products in terms of fuel and other lubricants are available in order to avoid shortage.
Enabling their customers to purchase fuel using NP smart cards is making use of latest technology to avail their customers to conveniently do transactions. This has increased easy accessibility contrary to unnecessary spending of time to purchase these petroleum products at different filling stations.
It has been established that using charcoal and wood for cooking purposes poses health hazards and depletion of our forests. Against such a backdrop many have commended the company for making it possible to get access to NP gas cookers, which are indeed safe and friendly for domestic use. Gas is as well available at the company\s filling stations which residents in these five West African countries can purchase at affordable prices.
At most of their filling stations there are mini marts, where various goods are sold making it possible for customers to easily procure them after purchasing fuel.
Even if an individual does not go to these places to purchase fuel, he/she can conveniently purchase what he/she requires from the mini-mart.
NP Limited has truly made Sierra Leoneans proud as it continues to fly the Green, White and Blue in West Africa; thus proving the fact that we indeed have capable entrepreneurs.
What cannot be challenged is that NP-SL is injecting life in our vehicles, homes and offices.
