Ayoba is a communications application localised for African and Middle East consumer needs, under an independent Over the Top (OTT) brand, with unique features for MTN customers. The app supports many local languages spoken across the MTN markets, including isiZulu, isiXhosa, Pidgin, Yoruba, Swahili, Hausa, French and English.
The platform, which was launched earlier this year, is now operational in 8 MTN markets, namely: Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Congo Brazzaville, Nigeria, Ghana, Guinea Bissau, Afghanistan and South Africa. Ayoba is also available across multiple markets on the Google Play Store and via the Ayoba website www.ayoba.me as an OTT offering.
As part of continuous efforts to enhance its offerings, Ayoba will be adding more features in the future and is working on building an open digital platform that will enable third party additions. This will offer a rich and diversified experience on the platform, enabling the delivery of more value to users while empowering local developers and local communities.
