Pelumi Nubi donates the Peugeot 107 she drove from London to Lagos to Lagos State-owned John Randle Centre.

She has since replaced her Peugeot 107 hatchback with a brand new GAC-branded SUV she got from Governor Sanwo-Olu.

In addition, LASG also gave her an apartment, took over her entire bill for the trip and made her Lagos Tourism Ambassador.
