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:

THE BITCOIN BTC

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and a payment system [14] :3 invented by an unidentified programmer, or group of programmers, under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto . [15] Bitcoin was introduced on 31 October 2008 to a cryptography mailing list, [16] and released as open-source software in 2009. [17] There have been various claims and speculation concerning the identity of Nakamoto, none of which are confirmed. [15] The system is peer-to-peer and transactions take place between users directly, without an intermediary. [14] :4 These transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in a public distributed ledger called the blockchain , [18] which uses bitcoin as its unit of account . Since the system works without a central repository or single administrator, the U.S. Treasury categorizes bitcoin as a decentralized virtual currency . [11] Bitcoin is often called the first cryptocurrency, [19] [20] [21] although prior systems existed [note 4] and it is more correctly descr

How to create a bitcoin wallet

How To Set Up a Wallet A “wallet” is basically the Bitcoin equivalent of a bank account. It allows you to receive bitcoins, store them, and then send them to others. There are two main types of wallets. A software wallet is one that you install on your own computer or mobile device. You are in complete control over the security of your coins, but they can sometimes be tricky to install and maintain. A web wallet or hosted wallet is one that is hosted by a third party. They are often much easier to use, but you have to trust the provider to maintain high levels of security to protect your coins. There are four main wallets that we recommend for beginners.

Day of birth/night crawler

maxresdefault Day of Birth 04:45 She had taken the day off work but forgot to turn off her usual alarm. All hopes of a lie-in were demolished. She was not ready to turn 29. “Let’s call the whole thing off.” 05:22 She wondered if the ravens knew that their continuous cawing is the most consistent, reliable thing in her life. 05:23 A murder of crows. An ostentation of peacocks. A parliament of owls. She had no collective. She just was. 06:42 She buried her phone under her mattress so she didn’t have to face life just yet. She began to read The Glass Bead Game for the fourth time. And for the fourth time she didn’t make it past page 28. Having said that, she hadn’t expected to make it past year 28, but she’s only bloody gone and done it. 10:08 She never opens it in front of her, but she receives a card from her mother every year. If she shakes it hard enough, the hollow words fall out of the envelope like dirty feathers so that by the time she’s gathered the strength to read i
