At a luncheon event organised to welcome her into the country, she reiterated the commitment of Uber to the Economic transformation of the country and was pleased that Accra was one of the fastest growing cities with huge demand for Uber.

She further announced that Uber had over 3000 partner drivers in Accra and they were also pleased about expanding their operations to Kumasi. Saint John also urged partners to help the company to be responsible to the community and make sure Uber serves them appropriately.

The meeting was attended by Uber executives in West Africa, the DCM of the U.S Embassy, Madam Tabler-Stone, members of the U.S mission in Accra, the Mayor of Accra, Hon. Mohammad Sowah and representatives from the Ministry of Tourism.
