The CEO expressed gratitude to Mr. Sow for believing in NP’s mission and vision, which led to the partnership and ultimately the commissioning of the state-of-the-art Fuel Station.
Ambassador Kobi Walker mentioned that Hassan Sow has a long-standing relationship with NP (SL) Ltd, as his father has been one of the Company’s partners for many years. Amb. Walker took this opportunity to convey a message to all Sierra Leoneans that anyone with ambition and a serious mindset can do business with NP.
