While speaking with LEADERSHIP,Okolo disclosed other plans.

“I also see a PAN where utilisation of infrastructure will hit minimum of 75 per cent; where employees will be way above 3,000. The way the company is going, I have no doubt, for its fast return to the glorious days, except the government truncates this policy.”

Last year, the carmaker debuted it's 2016 model, the Peugeot 508.

PAN's official brand ambassador, Kunle Afolayan, called it, "a machine".

“Sincerely this is as the Germans will call it, a machine. It is well balanced, the sun is scorching and still you could feel the cool breeze in the car. All the buttons and all the electronics make the car lovely that an average car lover should have, not only because of the look, but because of the safety capacity that it has."
