Ruach Networks × Novu: direct to Nigeria SMS, now inside your notification workflow, with global A to Z reach on the same connection.

Direct MNO interconnects and global A to Z reach are now available natively to developers building notification workflows on Novu

ABUJA, Nigeria — August 19, 2026 — Ruach Networks, an NCC licensed telecommunications infrastructure and enterprise communications company, today announced it is now a live SMS provider inside Novu's integration store. The listing gives developers building on Novu, an open source notification infrastructure platform, native access to Ruach's SMS channel for one time passwords, alerts, and transactional notifications.

Novu is used by engineering teams to manage multi channel notification workflows, including email, SMS, push, and in app messaging, through a single API. With Ruach now available among its SMS providers, teams building for Nigerian and African users can route messages directly over Ruach's mobile network operator interconnects with MTN, Airtel, Glo, and T2, instead of through resold or multi hop routes.

The integration also extends beyond Nigeria. Ruach's global interconnection reaches Tier 1 partners across Africa, Europe, the Americas, Asia, and the CIS region, giving Novu users A to Z SMS coverage through the same connection.

"For years, developers building for African users have had to choose between a workaround or a route they can't see into," said Oluwarotimi Onifade, Founder of Ruach Networks. "Being available natively inside a platform that thousands of developers already use means reliable delivery into Nigeria, and now the rest of the world, is one integration away rather than a separate infrastructure project."

Ruach owns and operates its own interconnects, short codes, and USSD gateways rather than reselling capacity from other providers, an architecture the company says underpins the delivery performance and latency it offers regulated and high volume senders such as fintechs, banks, healthcare providers, and logistics platforms.

The Ruach SMS integration is available now in Novu's integration store, listed under SMS providers. Developers and enterprise teams can also reach out to Ruach directly for onboarding.
