SAHAKIAN, Global Expansion Director for Yango, a service by Yandex, one of the
biggest IT companies in the world, and other top managers of the company, met
His Excellency Nana Akufo-Addo, President of Ghana, during the just-ended first
Russia-Africa Summit and Forum which was held in Sochi, Russia, from October
23-24.
President
Akufo-Addo encouraged Yandex and Yango to develop their presence in Ghana,
including the launch of educational programmes that company have already
successfully introduced in Russia and CIS countries.
“By joining
the existing ride-hailing market in Accra, Yango provided its locals with the
new choice. Competition is always for good, because it motivates all market
players to improve, and everyone wins in the end. While users get cheaper rides
and better service, drivers can earn better money, while the country gets the
latest high-level technologies,” Mr. Sahakian noted.
