According to the agreement,Peugeot Automobile Nigeria Limited based in Kaduna will deliver the cars at N10 million each by the end of the second quarter.
According to Namdas, “The cars will be purchased from a Nigerian company,”
“Peugeot is a local vehicle assembly plant. By patronising them, it is the decision of the House that we will be generating employment and promoting made in Nigeria products. That is the difference.
We have resolved to buy the cars and in weeks from today, they will begin to arrive,” Namdas confirmed.
