For instance, he said he makes more than enough to cater for his needs, adding that he earns approximately GH¢12,000 monthly.

He also explained that he saves GH¢400 daily after deducting his fuel, feeding, and other expenses from the money he makes.

Through this trade, the unidentified Pragya driver said he had been able to build a self-contained house for himself in his hometown.

"I have been able to build a self-contained house in my hometown from driving Pragya. I save GH¢400, that’s like GH¢12,000 a month. There’s money in this Pragya business," he disclosed.

The man suggested that even though he lacked formal education, he believes he is in a better place in life than many of his educated friends working in government and private institutions.

Consequently, the young man urged his fellow youth who are struggling to secure jobs to consider venturing into the Pragya driving trade. This has become a major source of employment for many Ghanaian youth across the country.

While some operate it as a commercial transport, others use it as a waste collection truck. The TikTok video of the driver explaining his earnings is included below:
