The Osun State Government has rolled out Imole Wi-Fi, a free public internet service aimed at boosting digital access for residents, students, businesses, and communities across the state.
The initiative was announced on Monday in a statement by the Commissioner for Information and Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, who said the project is designed to create more opportunities and strengthen access to digital resources across multiple sectors.
The first phase of the service will be available in select locations, including the Osun State Library, Alphastart Hub, Osun Mall, Salvation Army Middle School, Osogbo Grammar School, and offices within the Ministry of Innovation, Science, Technology and Digital Economy.
Governor Ademola Adeleke, unveiling the project, described it as a tool to drive progress in education, health, agriculture, and commerce. “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.
Special Adviser on Innovation, Science, Technology and Digital Economy, Azeez Badmus, noted that the rollout marks only the beginning. “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 explained.
The government confirmed that additional locations will be connected as the project continues to expand.
