Ghana’s recent appointment to host The Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area is said to be one of many reasons for this decision.

According to Twitter, Ghana's decision to host the AfCTA "aligns with our overarching goal to establish a presence in the region that will support our efforts to improve and tailor our service across Africa."

Meanwhile, Twitter says it has commenced hiring as it sets up operations in the country.
