Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has announced that the company would be establishing in Africa.

This development was revealed in a tweet by Dorsey.  He announced it and also thanked President  Nana Akufo-Addo  of Ghana.

“Twitter is now present on the continent. Thank you, Ghana and Nana Akufo-Addo,” he said.

Some of the opportunities that come with the presence of Twitter in the West African country are: the several roles which were being indicated, from product and engineering to design, marketing, and communications, for job openings in the company.

On the time and period  for commencement, Twitter disclosed that  African expansion with Ghana stems from the country’s dealings with AfCFTA and its openness toward the internet.
