The president inspected the vehicles following the visit of the Executive Vice President, Middle East and Africa, Peugeot Citreon, Mr. Jean-Christophe Quemard’s visit to the villa. Speaking to the audience, Buhari reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to the federal government’s privatization and commercialization policy. He stressed, however, that greater consideration will now be given to the technical and managerial competence of prospective buyers of government-owned companies.
The President said that a higher premium will be placed on the technical competence and financial clout of bidders in future privatisation exercises to avoid the running aground of privatized companies by ill-equipped and incapable investors.
President Buhari who spoke after being briefed on plans by Peugeot to stage a comeback in Nigeria after the collapse of the privatization of Peugeot Automobiles Nigeria Limited, noted that privatization could only succeed and yield desired benefits if buyers of government-owned companies possess essential skills and resources. Mr. Quemard assured President Buhari that Peugeot was ready to reinvest in vehicle assembly in Nigeria, provided that the right indigenous partners are found.
The Peugeot Chief Executive for Africa and the Middle-East briefed the President on the company’s three-phased plan to resume vehicle assembly in Nigeria with 4,000 cars next year, rising up to 10,000 cars by 2021. He said that the plan, which he urged the Federal Government to support with appropriate policies and actions, will entail higher local content in the assembly of Peugeot cars in Nigeria and the exportation of locally assembled Peugeot cars from Nigeria to neighbouring African countries.
Peugeot Automobiles Nigeria Limited which was privatized some years ago has technically reverted to government ownership with up to 85 per cent of its shares now held by the Federal Government and the Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON). See photos below:

How to face 2017 as a good and perfect leader !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You cannot lead while jousting with the past. The direction of your leadership begins with the direction of your thoughts.   Remarkable leadership is forward-facing and future-focused.  Many of the conversations I have about the future end up focused on the past. People say they want to discuss their future. Typically, they’re fighting with history. Fighting history fills one with doubt and fear. It takes courage and faith to pivot forward and create a future. Successful leaders know that we all live the future now. Imagination: Thoughts are bricks. Everything you see began in someone’s imagination. Ignite the imagination of your team. Discuss and adopt a shared picture of the future you aspire to build together. Questions: How do we aspire to treat each other? If our efforts succeed, what will we have built? Get specific. How might you live the future today? What does it mean for your team to pivot toward the future right now? Adopt this approach while dealing with complaints...

HOW TO STUMBLE FORWARD WITH BOLDNESS AND FIND SUCCESS

An infant watches others walk and learns that walking is possible. But success calls you to turn possibility into reality by stumbling forward. Others may have stepped out already, but it’s still the unknown for everyone who hasn’t done it before. It feels like letting go and stumbling forward. Stumbling forward: Some live life according to plan. In some ways I admire them. But I wonder how you can even imagine the possibilities until you’ve climbed the hill in front of you and spied new terrain? Writing Leadership Freak began with stumbling. I had no idea what the heck I was doing. I’d never written anything beyond papers in school. Now I serve leaders all over the world. Stumbling forward changed my life. An opportunity to stumble forward: A college student approached me with an offer to start a Leadership Freak podcast. I’m stumbling forward with him. He doesn’t know it, but he’s suggesting things I’ve rejected in the past. I don’t write about current events, for example. He thinks ...
