Twitter sets up first African office in Ghana

Twitter, US-based microblogging and social networking service, has announced the launch of its first-ever African office in Ghana.
Jack Dorsey, the company’s CEO, broke the news in terse post on the microblogging platform on Monday.

“Twitter is now present on the continent. Thank you Ghana and @NAkufoAddo #TwitterGhana,” he wrote.

In a blog post, the social media giant said the move was informed by its quest to enhance public conversation across African communities.

In a tweet, Nana Akufo-Addo, the country’s president, hailed the move while expressing his administration’s support for the company.
