Digifon partners MTN, launches smart accessories

Premium technology and lifestyle brand Digifon has partnered with MTN Nigeria to make its latest range of smart accessories available on the telecommunications company’s e-shop platform.

According to a statement, the company unveiled the partnership during an activation at MTN Plaza in Ikoyi, Lagos, where it showcased its products and introduced guests to its power solutions and wearable audio devices.

Speaking at the event, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of WTG IT Solutions Limited, Mr Dapo Okotore, said access to quality hardware remained critical to achieving digital inclusion.

Okotore said, “True digital inclusion requires more than just a great network; it requires reliable, world-class hardware that can keep up with the pace of the consumer.

“By launching on the MTN e-shop, we are streamlining access and making it incredibly simple for users to integrate premium power and advanced audio directly into their daily mobile experience. Today’s incredible energy at MTN Plaza is proof that when you design high-performance tech tailored to local realities, the adoption is instant.”

The activation attracted stakeholders from the media, entertainment, and business sectors, including media personality Olisa Adibua, life coach Lanre Olusola, recording artist Tome, Industry Nite Chief Executive Officer Matthew Ohio, and media personality Destiny Amaka.

At the event, Digifon showcased its Stonebuds and Oyster Earbuds, which it described as Open Wearable Stereo devices engineered with custom “Afrobeats Tuned” audio technology. According to the company, the earbuds are designed to sit outside the ear canal while enabling users to remain aware of their surroundings.

The company also unveiled its Gorilla Mini Vault range of power banks, including the Mini Vault X with a 10,000mAh battery and 22.5W charging capability, the Mini Vault XE with a 20,000mAh battery and 22.5W charging capability, and the Mini Vault XE Pro, which combines a 20,000mAh battery with 65W charging capability.

A highlight of the event was a live demonstration of the Mini Vault XE Pro powering a laptop, a move the company said underscored the device’s ability to handle heavy-duty tasks and support multiple devices.

Reacting to the partnership, the Chief Marketing Officer of MTN Nigeria, Mrs Onyinye Emeka, said the collaboration aligned with the company’s objective of providing customers with a seamless digital lifestyle experience.

Emeka said, “We are delighted to welcome Digifon to the MTN e-shop family. At MTN, our goal is to consistently deliver a seamless digital lifestyle to our customers, and that requires a perfect marriage between robust connectivity and top-tier hardware.

“Seeing the sheer excitement and engagement from our own staff today across all floors confirms that Digifon is a premium tech and lifestyle brand that understands modern needs. This e-shop integration ensures our customers can access premium, reliable tech accessories with absolute ease.”

Following the launch, Digifon said its product ecosystem is now available to consumers through the MTN e-shop, which serves as the primary sales channel for the products.

The company added that it plans to expand distribution through physical placements in MTN retail stores across the country while providing updates on new products and promotions through its social media platforms.
