Osun Government Launches Imole Wi-Fi to Expand Digital Access
The Osun State Government has officially launched Imole Wi-Fi, a free public internet service designed to provide fast and reliable internet access to residents, students, businesses, and communities across the state.
According to a statement released on Monday by the Commissioner for Information and Enlightenment, Oluomo Kolapo Alimi, the initiative is being spearheaded by the Innovation, Science, Technology, and Digital Economy Office under the Office of the Special Adviser.
The project aims to promote digital inclusion, enhance educational access, create economic opportunities, and support community development throughout Osun State.
Unveiling the initiative, Governor Ademola Adeleke described Imole Wi-Fi as a transformative step toward closing the digital gap within the state.
"Imole Wi-Fi is a gateway to opportunity. With this public digital infrastructure, we are removing barriers, connecting citizens, and driving growth across all sectors of Osun's economy," the governor said.
Special Adviser to the Governor on Innovation, Science, Technology, and Digital Economy, Mr. Azeez Badmus, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to expanding the initiative.
“This is just the beginning. As we grow Imole Wi-Fi, we will integrate more government services and sector-specific tools to ensure that every resident can benefit from Osun’s digital future,” he stated.
The free Wi-Fi service is currently available at strategic locations including the Osun State Library, Alphastart Hub, Osun Mall, Salvation Army Middle School, Osogbo Grammar School, and offices of the Ministry of Innovation, Science, Technology, and Digital Economy.
The state government encourages residents to take full advantage of the service as it continues to roll out the digital infrastructure to more parts of the state.
