Our story

Twenty-five years
of moving what
Nigeria needs.

TSL was founded in 2001 with a simple ambition: raise the standard of heavy-cargo transport in Nigeria. We started with a small fleet out of Lagos and a single question — how do you deliver world-class safety on some of the world's most demanding roads?

Two decades later, that question is still what drives the group. Whether we're operating a petroleum terminal, running a Metroline bus route, or hauling containers to Kano, we're measured by the same thing: every load, delivered safely.
