An aide to Kaduna State Governor, Jimi Lawal, told Reuters that the joint venture, Peugeot Automobile Nigeria (PAN) Ltd, is expected to assemble 3,500 units of cars in its first year of operation.Lawal said that Dangote will hold a majority stake in the joint venture, while Peugeot Citroen will own a 10 percent stake and also operate the plant. The states, according to Lawal, which include Jigawa, Kebbi, Katsina and Kano would provide off-take funding for cars to be built at the Kaduna plant.According to a reliable source from Dangote Group, who wants to remain anonymous because he's not authorised to speak on the matter, confirmed the development to Vanguard when contacted on phone. Lawal said PAN would start with N3.5 billion ($10 million) of equity and working capital of about $5 million, adding that the company would later raise additional capital.He further noted that Dangote and the state governors have visited France to sign agreements, adding that Peugeot would assemble three brands in Nigeria and target West African markets for export. "The first vehicle should come out by the first quarter of next year. We are hoping that the factory will be completed by December.The land has been identified, we have advertised for a contractor that will build the factory," Lawal said. Recall that Dangote, in alliance with two states and the Bank of Industry (BOI), made a bid to acquire a majority stake in PAN after Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) sought to sell some of the assets it bought in the wake of the banking crisis in 2009.

| Federal Executive Council Scraps The Award Of HND Certificates By Polytechnics Posted: 06 Jun 2018 12:17 AM PDT
Nigeria has finally scrapped the award of Higher National Diploma Certificates by Polytechnics. This was disclosed yesterday at the end of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in Abuja.The FEC also agreed to forward two executive bills to the National Assembly for enactment into law. All Federal Polytechnics will now become campuses of the proximate universities.According to the financialwatchngr, Mallam Adamu Adamu, Minister of Education, addressed the journalists after the weekly meeting of the council that under the reform measures, the ministry would, however, continue to licence private polytechnics and colleges of education for the award of qualification at ND and National Certificate in Education (NCE) levels. The Minister said: "There will be no more award of HND. After we have exhausted the current students under the programme, there will be no more award of HND. This means that there will be no fresh admission for HND programmes. And in addition, any programme that is not technical will be out of the polytechnics. About 70 per cent of polytechnic graduates are in the non-technical courses. It is going to be a rigorous implementation programme." A ministerial committee to ensure the smooth implementation of all that is required for the take-off of the reform initiatives is to begin work immediately. Mall. Adamu said: "The HND certificate will remain a legal tender in Nigeria and holders of such certificate will continue to be recognised as the equivalent of first degree holders without discriminatory remunerations and limit to progression in the work place.
The council also approved the Federal Government's formal take-over of the Waziri Umaru Polytechnic, Birnin Kebbi, which will be the College of Technology campus of the Othman Dan Fodio University, Sokoto, as well as the Hussein Adamu Polytechnic, Kazaure, Bauchi, which will be a College of Technology of the proximate university in the state. Also, the Alvan Ikoku College of Education, Owerri, Imo State, has been taken over as a campus of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri. A state that had never had any federal institution, like Bayelsa, is to have a College of Technology as a campus of the College of Technology of the University of Port Harcourt. Sharing is caring.
