In a collaborative effort to empower young Ghanaians, Youth Employment Agency (YEA) CEO Malik Basintale has joined forces with SHAXI, the ride-hailing service owned by renowned musician Shatta Wale. This partnership aims to provide significant support and opportunities for young people seeking to thrive in Ghana’s burgeoning ride-hailing industry.

The initiative will focus on providing resources, training, and access to SHAXI’s platform, enabling more young individuals to become drivers and entrepreneurs in the ride-hailing space. By leveraging SHAXI’s established infrastructure and the YEA’s commitment to youth employment, the partnership seeks to address unemployment challenges and foster economic independence among the youth.

This collaboration highlights a creative approach to job creation, combining the influence of a popular figure like Shatta Wale with the YEA’s mandate to support youth employment. The partnership is expected to not only create immediate job opportunities but also to inspire a new generation of young entrepreneurs to explore and succeed in the digital economy. The initiative marks a significant step towards sustainable youth empowerment and economic development in Ghana.
