It went on to become Nigeria's favorite brand and was highly patronised by government agencies.

Unfortunately, the company suffered some hard times, which led to the Federal and state governments shunning Peugeot products and opting for imported alternatives.

However, Peugeot is back with the unveiling of it's ‘Made-In-Nigeria’ cars.

During the unveiling at the presidential villa, where the cars were taken for an inspection from His Excellency, Muhammed Buhari, Peugeot's Executive Vice President for Africa and the Middle-East, Mr. Jean-Christophe Quemard announced plans to stage a comeback to Nigeria.
