President Akufo-Addo encouraged Yandex and Yango to develop their presence in Ghana, including the launch of educational programs that the company has already successfully introduced in Russia and Commonwealth of Independent States countries.

He urged Yandex to ensure Yango operated across the country and also introduced its educational programs in Ghana.

“Competition is always good for us because it motivates all market players to improve, and everyone wins in the end; users get cheaper rides and better service, drivers can earn better money, and country gets the latest high-level technologies,” he said.
