By: Sorie Sesay
The JMan Group of Companies has officially opened its fourth fuel station in Sierra Leone, located at Adelaide Street in the heart of Freetown.
The opening attracted motorists, bike riders, and community members who described the new facility as a timely intervention amid frequent fuel shortages in the capital.
Alex M. Feika, a private business owner, said the station would ease the burden on businesses that often struggle when fuel is scarce. “This is a plus to us because sometimes it is difficult to access fuel. Seeing JMan open another station here is a big relief,” he told Epic Radio.
Sylvanilus Mans, a kekeh rider, also praised the company’s expansion. “We have been suffering to access fuel, but this new station will reduce the challenges faced by car owners, bike riders, and kekeh riders,” he said.
Speaking at the event, Rev. Bankole-Gibson, Chief Financial Officer of JMan Group, noted that the Adelaide Street branch is part of the company’s long-term vision to expand nationwide. “The dream of our CEO is to ensure JMan fuel stations are present in every location possible within the next 10 years,” he said.
CEO and Chairman, Amadu Kassim Jah, emphasized that the company’s mission goes beyond profit. “As a Sierra Leonean, I am in this venture to help people, create jobs, and serve the country. In just one year, we have employed 144 people, and each of them supports dependents. We are making a difference,” he said.
The Adelaide Street outlet marks JMan’s fourth station. The company announced that its fifth fuel station, located in Moyamba, will be commissioned in the coming weeks.
