AMCON to sell Peugeot Automobile to Dangote, Kebbi, Kaduna states

The Asset Management Company of Nigeria, AMCON, has disclosed that it is close to selling Peugeot Automobile Nigeria, PAN, Ltd to Aliko Dangote, and two Nigerian states.

The Chief Executive of AMCON, Ahmed Kuru, told Reuters that all processes on the bids were completed about two months ago.

He said all that is left is the approval of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.

Dangote, Africa’s richest man, in alliance with the Kaduna, Kebbi states and the Bank of Industry, made a bid to acquire a majority stake in PAN last year after AMCON moved to sell off some of the assets it acquired in the wake of the banking crisis.

The automaker is worth over N15 billion.
