I hope we begin to see the revitalization of our automotive industry soon. We certainly had our glorious days.

Footage of General Yakubu Gowon, the military Head of State of Nigeria opening a car assembly plant in the city of Kaduna. The plant, which cost 8.5-million-naira (GBP5.4 million-sterling), was built by the Federal Military Government, Peugeot Automobiles of France and Nigerian businessmen. It was expected to have a production capacity of 20,000 cars a year.

Gowon said that said the purpose of building the factory in Kaduna was part of his Government's policy to disperse industries in the country.

This, he added would spread the benefit of acquiring skills and technological expertise to workers in their natural surroundings. He went on to say that the policy was designed to prevent young people from gravitating to urban centres.
