How Salim Transport is revolutionizing logistics in West Africa

Salim Transport, a rapidly growing logistics and transportation company based in Niger, is making significant strides in the West African transportation sector. The company stands out due to its strong focus on affordability, reliability, and passenger comfort.

Recently, Colonel Major Idrissa Chaibou, Director General of ARCEP, visited Salim Transport along with his team. The purpose of this visit was to gain insight into the company’s operations, particularly its courier service for sending and receiving parcels.

During the visit, Colonel Major Chaibou discussed employee working conditions and sought to understand the challenges faced in daily operations.

At the end of his visit, he expressed satisfaction with Salim Transport’s organization and infrastructure, commending and encouraging the staff.

Founded in 2020 by Abdoussalam Ousmane, a young entrepreneur with a vision to modernize transportation services in Niger, Salim Transport has quickly emerged as a preferred choice for travelers, commuters, and businesses seeking reliable mobility solutions.

Driven by innovation and a passion for excellence, Salim Transport operates a modern fleet of vehicles that connects major cities across Niger. The company’s ambitious cross-border routes position it as a key player in the regional transport landscape.

“Our goal is to provide safe, reliable, and affordable transport to every corner of Niger and beyond,” stated Mr. Ousmane. “We have built a system that prioritizes passenger experience, vehicle safety, and professional service delivery.” He emphasized that Salim Transport was established to fill a gap in structured, customer-focused transport services within the country.

Salim Transport’s offerings extend beyond regular intercity passenger travel. The company provides specialized services, including bus rental for groups, companies, and events. These air-conditioned buses are equipped with modern conveniences to ensure passenger comfort during private or corporate trips.

Another core offering is a robust courier and parcel delivery service designed to meet the logistics needs of individuals and businesses. Customers can send or receive parcels from any of the company’s designated terminals or choose for convenient home and office pickups.

Salim Transport’s consistent growth is attributed to its unwavering commitment to quality control, routine vehicle maintenance, and intensive driver training. According to management, these are non-negotiable standards aimed at ensuring safety and customer satisfaction.

Proud of its Nigerien identity, Salim Transport continues to play a vital role in enhancing the country’s mobility infrastructure. However, the company has set its sights on broader goals—expanding into neighboring countries and solidifying its place as a key player in the West African transport ecosystem.

“Customer satisfaction, road safety, and innovation are central to our strategy,” Mr. Ousmane affirmed. “We are building a brand that represents quality and trust, not just in Niger but across the sub-region.”

With a dedicated and passionate team at the helm, Salim Transport is on a journey to redefine how people move and connect—one route at a time. The company’s mission is to provide safe, reliable, and comfortable transportation services that exceed customer expectations, while its vision is to become West Africa’s leading transport and logistics company.
