At the 2025 Yango Partner Conference, the CEO of the National Youth Authority (NYA), Mr. Osman Ayariga, Esq., declared that Ghana is currently experiencing one of the most significant shifts in youth employment—and Yango is playing a central role in that transition.
Speaking before government officials, riders, drivers, and partners, Mr. Ayariga emphasized that the gathering was “not merely another industry event” but a celebration of a transformative partnership between technology and youth entrepreneurship.
He noted that Yango’s digital transport and delivery platform has become “a functional public–private development mechanism,” significantly expanding economic opportunity for young Ghanaians. Data from the sector, he added, shows that over 70% of riders and drivers on digital platforms are under 35, highlighting Yango’s role as both an income source and a training ground.
Mr. Ayariga linked Yango’s success to the NYA’s 2025 priority theme: “Heightened Youth Engagement and Economic Activation.” The Authority recently convened the national “Igniting Potential; Inspiring Change” Youth Conference and launched a major National Apprenticeship Programme targeting 10,000 youth this year, scaling to 100,000 by 2026.
He concluded with a call for deeper cooperation with Yango—on advanced training, entrepreneurial development, and access to credit—asserting that Ghana must support young people not just as riders but as future fleet owners, courier companies, and logistics entrepreneurs.
