The Osun State Government has launched Imole Wi-Fi, a free public internet service designed to provide residents, students, businesses, and communities with improved access to digital resources.
The announcement was made in a statement on Monday by the State Commissioner for Information and Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi.
He explained that the initiative is meant to improve digital access and create opportunities across different sectors in the state.
The first phase will cover government buildings, including 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.
The Commissioner said the project is part of efforts to promote digital inclusion and support growth in education, health, agriculture, and commerce.
Governor Ademola Adeleke described the project as transformative, saying, “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.”
Azeez Badmus, Special Adviser in charge of the initiative, noted that the launch marks the beginning of a broader rollout. “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 said.
The government said the service will be extended to more locations over time.
