Osun State Government has launched Imole Wi-Fi, a free public internet service aimed at expanding digital access for residents, students, businesses, and communities across the state.
The announcement was made in a statement released on Monday by the State Commissioner for Information and Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi. He explained that the initiative is designed to improve digital connectivity and increase opportunities across different sectors of the state’s economy.
According to the Commissioner, the first phase of the connection will cover government buildings such as the Osun State Library, Alphastart Hub, Osun Mall, Salvation Army Middle School, Osogbo Grammar School, and facilities within the Ministry of Innovation, Science, Technology and Digital Economy.
Alimi noted that the project is part of the administration’s wider effort to deepen digital inclusion and drive development in education, health, agriculture, and commerce.
Governor Ademola Adeleke, while speaking on the rollout, described the project as a tool to break barriers and enhance economic growth. “Imole Wi-Fi is a gateway to opportunity. With this public digital infrastructure, we are cutting barriers, connecting people, and driving growth across every sector of Osun’s economy,” he said.
The Special Adviser overseeing the initiative, Azeez Badmus, said the launch marks the beginning of a larger plan. “This is just the first step. As we expand Imole Wi-Fi, more government services and sector-specific tools will follow, ensuring that every resident benefits from Osun’s digital future,” he stated.
The statement added that the service will gradually be extended to more locations across the state.
