Drivers hail Yango app after championship contest

At the end of 2021, one of Ghana’s leading ride-hailing services, Yango Ghana held a five-week-long “Ghana Yango Partners Drivers Championship” with different prizes for drivers with the longest rides. This event marked one of the series of the Yango Ghana motivational program for the drivers, that will continue in 2022.

The contest, that lasted from November 29 to December 31, saw the top three drivers selected weekly, receiving different valuable prizes for their effort. Additionally, the opportunity was given to other drivers entering the competition to also receive prizes on a random giveaway basis. Among the prizes were Samsung Galaxy smartphones, grocery bundles, and gift cards.

Sharing their experiences in the five-week-long contest, the winners expressed their delight for winning various prizes.

One of the winners of the Yango Partners Drivers’ Contest, Reuben Tetteh, stated that he is delighted by switching to Yango, because of the promotions and bonuses being given to drivers.

Mr. Tetteh, who completed 198 rides in a week said “I was a driver using different apps, but Yango was recommended by a friend. For six months now, I have not regretted using Yango. That is because, they are running a bonus for drivers.”

According to him, the weekly income from using Yango App as a driver is enough to take care of himself and his family.

Commenting on how he got to know about the contest, Mr. Tetteh explained that “I was actually competing with two other friends who are also Yango drivers. We had our own internal competition to see who would complete the most trips in the week. One of those friends was the one who told me about the Drivers’ Contest.”
Another winner, Elvis Owusu Adjei, who completed 186 rides within a week said the Yango promotion required drivers’ dedication and “I was determined to win which ever prize there was.”

Mr. Adjei explained that, the Drivers’ Contest became a competition between him and his friends and it was exciting for them to ride and win a prize.
He noted that, “the Yango Partners Drivers’ Contest became a competition amongst us, since we were all eager to win the contest. It also served as a motivation to our circle.”

Another winner of the contest, Godfred Mensah on his part said “My life has been good, since I joined Yango and I have passion for what I do.”

The Drivers’ Contest was an initiative of Yango Ghana to reward outstanding drivers on the app with prizes for the season. The contest was open to all licensed drivers in the country.
