Salim Transport, a fast-growing transport and logistics firm based in Niger, is making waves across the West African transportation sector with its strong focus on affordability, reliability, and passenger comfort.

Founded in 2020 by Abdoussalam Ousmane, a young entrepreneur with a vision to modernize transportation services in Niger, the company has rapidly gained popularity among travelers, commuters, and businesses seeking dependable mobility solutions.

Driven by innovation and a passion for excellence, Salim Transport operates a modern fleet of vehicles that connect major cities across Niger. The company also offers cross-border routes, positioning it as one of the most ambitious transport operators in the region.

Speaking on the company’s mission, Mr. Ousmane noted that Salim Transport was created to fill the gap in structured, customer-focused transport services in the country.

“Our goal is to provide safe, reliable, and affordable transport to every corner of Niger and beyond,” he said. “We’ve built a system that prioritizes passenger experience, vehicle safety, and professional service delivery.”

More Than a Bus Company

Beyond regular intercity travel, Salim Transport offers specialized services, including bus hire for groups, companies, and events. These buses are air-conditioned and fitted with modern conveniences to ensure passenger comfort during private or corporate trips.

The company also runs 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 opt for home and office pickups.

Salim Transport’s consistent growth is credited to its emphasis on quality control, routine vehicle maintenance, and intensive driver training. These, according to the management, are non-negotiable standards aimed at guaranteeing safety and customer satisfaction.

Rooted in Niger, Growing Across Borders

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

“Customer satisfaction, road safety, and innovation are at the centre of 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.
