Captioning the video, the Shatta Movement leader said: “I like how everyone is supporting Shaxi all of a sudden and calling on the Government of Ghana to support or invest.
“Thank you all for believing in the African dream. Shaxi is not just a ride-hailing service — it’s a movement designed to empower the youth, create jobs, and promote digital innovation within our transport sector. At its core, Shaxi represents a sustainable solution to unemployment, and a bold example of what can happen when creativity meets purpose.”
