Twitter is building a presence in Africa, with the company’s headquarters in Ghana.
Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, announced this via a tweet yesterday. “Twitter is now present on the continent. Thank you, Ghana and Nana Akufo-Addo,” he said.
Twitter says in a statement attached to the tweet that it is now actively building a team in Ghana “to be more immersed in the rich and vibrant communities that drive the conversations taking place every day across the continent.”
Twitter posted job openings for a variety of positions ranging from product and engineering to design, marketing, and communications. Individuals will occupy these positions remotely, though, as Twitter expects to open an office in the country later.
Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo expressed delight at the news, saying, “the choice of Ghana as HQ for Twitter’s Africa operations is excellent news. Government and Ghanaians welcome very much this announcement and the confidence reposed in our country.”
