NP (SL) Limited, Sierra Leone’s premier petroleum marketing company, continues to distinguish itself as a beacon of excellence and reliability in the country’s energy sector. Renowned for its commitment to quality, innovation and unmatched customer service, NP (SL) Ltd remains at the forefront of delivering petroleum products that power homes, businesses and institutions across Sierra Leone and the sub-region.

Established with a vision to provide the best in petroleum marketing, NP (SL) has built a formidable reputation as a trusted and customer-oriented supplier of petrol, diesel, lubricants and NP Gas. Its operations are underpinned by an unwavering focus on efficiency, product availability and the seamless integration of cutting-edge technologies to enhance service delivery.

NP’s leadership in the industry is evident in its early and consistent adoption of smart technologies. From user-friendly fuel dispensing pumps that ensure customers receive accurate quantities, to the deployment of GPS tracking and Video Tracking Systems (VTS) for fleet monitoring and operational transparency, the company is redefining how petroleum services are delivered in Sierra Leone.

One of NP’s landmark innovations is the NP Energy Pass Card; a digital payment solution that has revolutionized fuel purchases. The card not only promotes financial security and convenience by allowing cashless transactions but also provides real-time SMS alerts and online/offline top-up capabilities. This technology aligns with Sierra Leone’s broader goal of transitioning to a cashless economy and exemplifies NP’s proactive embrace of digital transformation.

Complementing its innovation drive, NP (SL) Ltd also introduced Mobile Fuel Tanks, a strategic solution to guarantee fuel supply in key Government institutions. These tanks, installed at critical points like the Parliament of Sierra Leone and supplied to the Sierra Leone Police Force, have ensured operational continuity during crucial times, particularly when national functions demand reliable fuel access.

Behind NP’s sustained growth is its commitment to customer satisfaction. The company’s modern infrastructure, including calibrated dispensing pumps and feedback mechanisms, ensures transparency, accuracy and responsiveness. This customer-first approach has cultivated widespread trust and loyalty, reinforcing NP’s slogan as “1st for Customer Care.”

Equally important is NP (SL) Ltd’s role in advancing Sierra Leone’s Local Content Policy. As a wholly Sierra Leonean-owned company with a 100% local workforce, NP not only fuels the economy but also serves as a major employer and promoter of skills development. By empowering citizens and fostering inclusive economic growth, the company has become a key player in national development.

NP (SL) Ltd has also established a regional footprint, extending its operations into Liberia, Guinea, Côte d’Ivoire and The Gambia. This cross-border presence demonstrates its ambition to become a dominant regional player while exporting the same level of professionalism, product quality and service excellence that have become synonymous with its brand.

The company’s flexible credit systems for Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) have further enhanced its role in supporting public sector efficiency. By accommodating budgetary delays, NP (SL) has ensured that essential services are not interrupted due to fuel shortages; a testament to its strategic importance in national service delivery.

Moreover, NP (SL) Ltd’s commitment to safety and operational standards is reflected in its routine emergency drills, quality assurance protocols and continuous investment in modern infrastructure. These measures reinforce its standing as a responsible corporate entity dedicated to environmental safety and community well-being.

As one of Sierra Leone’s top taxpayers, NP (SL) contributes significantly to the national revenue base, further underlining its role as a key socio-economic partner to the Government and people of Sierra Leone.

Now under the leadership of Dr. Mohamed S. Kanu, an experienced executive with a proven track record in petroleum marketing across West Africa, NP (SL) is poised to reach new heights. With his strategic vision and a renewed focus on digital growth, sustainability and enhanced customer engagement, the company is expected to consolidate its leadership position and chart a future of even greater impact.

Sierra Leone’s ongoing development is matched by NP (SL) Ltd’s unwavering commitment to fueling growth, fostering innovation and promoting inclusive progress both nationally and throughout the West African region.
