Charterhouse, organizers of the annual Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA), has announced a partnership with Yango, a ride-hailing service provider, as the official transportation partner for the 24th edition of Ghana's biggest music awards night.
The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 6, 2023, at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre.
As part of the partnership, Yango has announced discounts and prizes for all riders who would attend the event, as well as luxury shuttle services for celebrities and special guests of the VGMA, and giveaways of up to 50 tickets to its loyal patrons to experience the VGMAs.
Yango Country Manager for Ghana, Tom Ofonime, expressed the company's enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that the company is always looking to engage with activities that matter.
“For us, partnering with the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards means supporting the spirit of the youth as well as the artists because they are most relevant to the society.”
Robert Klah, Head of Public Events and Communications, stated “A great VGMA experience starts with the ride that brings you to the grounds. While we are keen on providing you with an unforgettable 24th VGMA, we also care about how you get to your destination safely when the program is over. That is where Yango comes in; we are happy for such partnerships.”
Since its launch in 2019, Yango has experienced significant growth in Ghana, and the brand has become synonymous with fast, comfortable, and safe travel.
Yango uses its own maps, route, and navigation system based on artificial intelligence technologies and frequently introduces new features with a focus on enhanced security for riders.
The company operates in more than 20 countries across Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
The 24th edition of the VGMAs is produced by Charterhouse, with support from YANGO, TV3, KPMG, and media partners.
