perambulator:
Peugeot lost their market dominance in Nigeria and indeed Africa when they switched to front wheel drive cars after the 505. Unfortunately these cars starting with the 405 could not match the ruggedness and durability of the 404,504 and 505 before them. To compound matters, Toyota became the brand name for ruggedness and reliability.

IMHO Its a waste of resources trying to revive peugeot assembly in Nigeria because Peugeot itself as a brand is finished in Nigeria (even in the abroad) and they will never sell enough cars in Nigeria to be competitive or to be a force again.

people are buying less and less saloons and when they do certainly not peugeot, and they dont have suvs that can compete with Prado or hilux. Even in America the Rav4 is now outselling the camry, which tells you the trend. KDSG should have gone into partnership with a japanese or korean brand or done a deal to assemble commercial buses.

See details of projects that President Buhari commissioned in Kaduna and Kafanchan yesterday here: Pictures Of Projects Commissioned By President Buhari In Kaduna State Yesterday

He will commission more projects in Kaduna and Zaria today.

adecz:


Buhari has either sold viable industry the
the nation owns to Hausa/ Fulani or given
them control over Nigeria's economy.

⏩He indirectly killed NNPC
refineries to allow a Dangote monopoly
⏩He killed off competition from cement
producers from the East to allow Bus & Dangote Monopoly.
⏩Ports are run by them
⏩Customs are controlled by them
⏩Juicy Oil blocks are allocated to them
⏩Finance ministry is controlled by them.
⏩Peugeot factory sold to them do
that they can fight Innoson.
⏩Sugar import license is only given to
Bus & Dangote. That is why they want to tax soft drinks company N10 per bottle to make them Sugar importers richer.

The list goes on and on.

The process of getting Amcon to hand over the PAN plant to Dangote and the Kaduna State Government was too difficult, so Dangote approached Peugeot S.A (Stellantis) in France and got a license to build a new Peugeot plant in Kaduna. That is the plant that will be commissioned by President Buhari today.

(AMCON took over the shares of the former owner of PAN because they couldn't repay their debts).

Innoson Ikenga is better!

Nigeria must focus on developing the automotive supply chain, ports, roads, skilled personnel, steel plants, aluminium, plastic, rubber, petrochemical and governance policies.
