Yango Group’s Chief Business Officer, Mr. Adeniyi Adebayo, on Monday, July 28, 2025, paid a high-level visit to the President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, in a bid to deepen public-private partnerships and affirm the company’s long-term investment in the country.

The meeting, held at Jubilee House in Accra, underscores Yango’s growing role in Ghana’s digital mobility space and its alignment with the government’s vision for a 24-hour economy, youth empowerment, and sustainable development through technology.

Discussions centred around Yango’s expanding footprint in Ghana, the company’s social and economic impact, and strategic opportunities for collaboration in key sectors, including transportation, digital innovation, and community development.

President Mahama commended Yango’s contribution to Ghana’s digital transformation, particularly its role in supporting young entrepreneurs, enhancing urban mobility, and driving inclusive economic growth.

“To make the 24-hour economy a reality, we need strong and forward-looking partners. Digital platforms like Yango, which are powered by technology and operate across time zones, can actively contribute to this model. The goal is to generate economic value around the clock, and platforms like Yango are well-positioned to support that,” he said.

Mahama further revealed how this partnership can open job opportunities within the country.

“This is not just about a company coming to do business. It’s about aligning efforts. If we work together strategically, we can formalise sectors, support job creation, and open up new channels for economic growth that reach people at every level of society,” he added.

Mr. Adebayo reaffirmed Yango’s commitment to deepening its engagement in Ghana.

“Our meeting with President Mahama reinforces Yango’s strong commitment to Ghana. We recognize the unique potential of this country, and we are here not just as a technology company, but as a long-term partner to the country and people of Ghana. Together, we can shape the future of smart mobility, create decent jobs, and support Ghana’s digital and economic goals,” he said.

The Yango delegation was led by Hon. Samuel Nartey George (MP), Minister of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations.

Also present were Maxim Kozlov, Global Head of Public Policy at Yango Group; Zanyiwe Asare, Vice President & Head of Public Policy (Africa); Tom Ofonime, Country Manager for Yango Ride in Ghana; and Manuel Koduah, Country Manager for Yango Delivery in Ghana.

Since launching in Ghana in 2019, its second African market after Côte d’Ivoire, Yango has rapidly diversified its services, moving from ride-hailing into package and cargo delivery.

The company works with local transport operators and businesses to offer accessible, tech-driven solutions tailored to daily needs.

Beyond commercial operations, Yango has also invested in several community-focused initiatives, including subsidised healthcare and insurance for drivers, educational hackathons, youth development in sports and digital skills, and road safety awareness campaigns.
