A Look at Why Ghana Is Attracting IT Firms 

ABUJA - Ghanaian social media users were in a state of ecstasy earlier this month when the U.S. social networking service, Twitter, announced it was setting up its first African office in Ghana.   

President Nana Akufo-Addo described the move as “excellent news.”  A statement by Twitter said Ghana’s democratic credentials and support for free speech and online freedoms made it the company’s choice.    Twitter joins Google and other IT firms with offices in Ghana.
