Osun govt launches free “Imole Wi-Fi” for residents, students
The Osun State Government has unveiled Imole Wi-Fi, a free public internet service aimed at improving digital connectivity for residents, students, businesses, and communities throughout the state.
The announcement was made in a statement by the State Commissioner for Information and Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, on Monday.
According to Alimi, Imole Wi-Fi is designed to facilitate digital access and broaden opportunities across various sectors within Osun.
The initial service rollout will take place in government buildings, including the Osun State Library, Alphastart Hub, Osun Mall, Salvation Army Middle School, Osogbo Grammar School, and sites associated with the Ministry of Innovation, Science, Technology and Digital Economy.
Governor Ademola Adeleke highlighted the significance of the initiative, stating, “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, the Special Adviser overseeing the initiative, described the launch as just the beginning, with plans for expansion already in progress.
“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 remarked.
The program is set to roll out to additional locations over time, reinforcing the government’s commitment to enhancing digital inclusion and stimulating growth in education, health, agriculture, and commerce throughout the state.
