The Afro-Arab Group, led by its Chairman, Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu, has officially launched its Work-and-Pay Electric Vehicle (EV) Programme, fulfilling a major commitment to create 2,000 direct and indirect jobs through the deployment of 1,000 electric vehicles.
The programme was officially launched on Monday, 23rd February, 2026, at the Afro-Arab Group office in Kokomlemle, Accra.
At the launch, 50 electric vehicles were handed over to beneficiaries, with assurance that the remaining 950 vehicles will be delivered in phases within the shortest possible time as part of the broader green transition agenda.
The initiative was officially launched by the Minister for Youth Development and Empowerment, George Opare Addo, on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama. In his remarks, the Minister lauded the Afro-Arab Group on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama for championing the Green Drive Initiative and for taking practical steps to address youth unemployment while promoting environmentally friendly transportation.
