The BBC World Service has extended its partnership with Zeno Media to make BBC World Service and BBC News Hausa content available on Zeno’s global audio platform, Zeno.FM.

Hausa is the official language of Niger and is also spoken in Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Benin, Togo and also in some parts of Chad, Ivory Coast and Sudan.

The BBC News Hausa current affairs program, Shirin Yamma, will also be available, bringing listeners the latest global and regional news, and deep analysis, alongside listeners’ views.

With more than 40 million listeners globally, Zeno Media extends the BBC’s trusted journalism to new audiences, particularly across Africa and South Asia, where Zeno has a strong and growing user base.
