Salim Transport: Redefining Mobility Across West Africa
Salim Transport, a dynamic and rapidly expanding transport and logistics company based in Niger, is making a significant impact across West Africa’s transportation landscape. With an unwavering commitment to affordability, reliability, and passenger comfort, the company is steadily transforming how people and parcels move within and beyond the region.
Founded in 2020 by visionary entrepreneur Abdoussalam Ousmane, Salim Transport was born out of a desire to modernize Niger’s transport system. In just a few years, the company has grown into one of the most trusted names in intercity and cross-border mobility, offering efficient services tailored to the needs of both individual travelers and businesses.
“Our goal has always been to offer safe, seamless, and affordable transportation that truly meets the expectations of our customers,” said Mr. Ousmane. “From day one, we’ve been guided by a mission to fill the gap in structured, customer-centric transport services across Niger.”
Salim Transport recently welcomed the Director General of ARCEP, Colonel Major Idrissa Chaibou, alongside his team, on a working visit to assess the company’s courier and parcel delivery operations. The visit provided an opportunity to evaluate operating conditions, engage with staff, and understand the practical challenges faced in daily operations.

At the end of the visit, Colonel Chaibou expressed satisfaction with Salim Transport’s organizational structure and infrastructure. He commended the team for their professionalism and encouraged them to continue upholding the standards they’ve set in the industry.
While Salim Transport is known for its intercity and regional bus services, the company’s offerings extend far beyond regular passenger transport. It provides chartered bus hire services for private events, companies, and groups — with air-conditioned vehicles fitted for maximum comfort.
In the logistics space, Salim Transport runs a growing courier and parcel delivery service that enables individuals and businesses to send and receive packages easily through its designated terminals, or via home and office pickup options.
This holistic approach to mobility — combining passenger transport with reliable delivery services — has positioned the company as a one-stop solution for transportation and logistics needs in Niger and across West Africa.
Salim Transport’s rise is anchored on a solid foundation of quality control, rigorous vehicle maintenance, and continuous driver training. These core practices are non-negotiable standards aimed at ensuring safety, reliability, and overall customer satisfaction.
“We’ve built our operations around three pillars — customer satisfaction, road safety, and innovation,” Mr. Ousmane emphasized. “These values define who we are and drive every decision we make.”
Despite its expanding footprint, Salim Transport remains proudly Nigerien. The company continues to play a role in strengthening national mobility infrastructure, contributing to job creation, and supporting economic development.
Looking ahead, Salim Transport has set its sights on further regional expansion, with plans to extend its services deeper into neighboring countries and become a key player in West Africa’s transport and logistics ecosystem.
“We’re not just moving people from one place to another,” Mr. Ousmane added. “We’re building a brand that symbolizes trust, quality, and the future of African mobility.”
With a passionate team, a clear vision, and a growing fleet of modern vehicles, Salim Transport is charting a bold path forward — connecting cities, communities, and countries, one journey at a time.
