I did not buttress your point, I basically corrected you and you have no idea per how the government intends to participate in this company apart from the fact that they own major shares in the company.


In the USA during the recession when the U.S. automakers went bankrupt and almost collapse, the US government bought them up with taxpayers money.

The companies are back in business, stronger and making money. The government sold it's shares and made a lot of profit money on behalf of the US taxpayers.

You have your no clue where the government of Kaduna is going with this company so stop the needless assumptions and premature conclusions...

Amazing development from the thinking governor.

PAN has so much capacity and technical expertise that it would be absolutely senseless to let such an asset go to waste.

With the way they have been rolling out world standard vehicles since the 1970's and enjoyed the military government's patronage of its 504 Best line and 406 in the 90's, the possibilities are limitless under a civilian administration committed to the 'Buy Nigerian' campaign.

When this company fully takeoff on a grand scale. Some people with fIat heads will start saying their business is targeted. Go El Rufai, Show them what real business means.

Where is that "Common sense" Twitter senator Ben Bruce. Come and buy made in Nigeria Peugeot or you are simply a bloody hypocrite trying to exploit the sentiments of a section of Nigerians.

Lol, You talked about the US government buying up during the economic meltdown of 2009. That is a federal government that could print money with a company that is fully established but ran into troubled waters.

The fact that US government cashed out recently tells you that government has no business in business and it was there for stability purposes to avoid job losses

What is the KD government trying to do? Is it going into business or is it trying to save face by preventing the demise of a company resurrected by the auto policy?

If it is going into business, then you cannot compare with the US government intervention. If it is preventing the fold of the company, then you agree with me that it is a save face venture because the company is even yet to start full operation.

I wish the man who supervised the sales of government properties to public because of inefficiencies good luck...

You guys can defend anything APC even when you have doubts in your mind. If you show me one thing APC or Buhari you have openly disagreed with I will continue with this discussion otherwise, I thing it is a waste of my energy because you will never accept anything that does not praise your party.

Having said that, I want you remember that a majority shareholder has the ace. Whatever he wants is done and in this case it is the state government and it is a state government in Nigeria....

Like I said in my first post, I am all for progress, I want this to succeed but I am skeptical. But I will very much like to be proved wrong....

amazingspiderma:
The other day at the just concluded trade fair ,this same man said Kaduna government , Dangote along with some northern states were going to buy up the company. Today he is saying Kaduna state alone was going to buy majority stake in the company.This is inconsistent.
Secondly,If the aim of the project was to reduce youth unemployment. What will be the resulting job figures to be generated as a result if increase in the production. What are the names and types of the other allied companies that would benefit from it within the metropolis. This is just another promise. Nigerians will always celebrate promises even when they have not seen any plan or feasibility studies on the ground.
Wake me up when he presents a plan. This is an old trick as far as I am concerned.

dom:


It will be "assembled" in nigeria. Not "manufactured". Very big difference. Read the post again. Slowly, this time.

phemierowl:

Be told that they don't manufacture in peugeot kaduna, they only assemble

arresa:



The only thing driving your blind argument here is tribalism, bigotry, tribalism and politics.

You don't give a damn about APC or the people of Kaduna and this is the only reason why you are not making any sense so we get it.

arresa:



Kind of meaningless.





And who says Kaduna state government won't cash out after stabilizing the company? You don't know anything so stop contradicting yourself..





Stop admitting that you don't know anything.




Intervention is intervention regardless the level of intervention.

Saving that company and securing jobs for Nigerians is not saving face, it is competent and responsible leadership. This is what we want our leaders to do.







Makes no sense...

You have absolutely no facts to suggest that the management of PAN would suffer if it's ownership structure is changed. If you do, state it.

fulanimafia:




No substance, nothing but hot air. You have confirmed my suspicion that your criticism is driven by political/ethnic sentiments. I have little patience for your type so swerve.

fulanimafia:
Interestingly, this comes at a time the company is planning to resume production of the luxury Peugeot 408 which can easily be used as official cars for top government functionaries and capable Nigerians alike.

Nigeria is working...we will get there.
