The Osun State Government has unveiled Imole Wi-Fi, a free public internet service aimed at expanding 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. He explained that the service is designed to drive opportunities across various sectors, including education, health, agriculture, and commerce.

The first phase of Imole Wi-Fi will cover government facilities such as the Osun State Library, Alphastart Hub, Osun Mall, Salvation Army Middle School, Osogbo Grammar School, and sites within the Ministry of Innovation, Science, Technology and Digital Economy.

Governor Ademola Adeleke, while unveiling the project, described it as a step toward breaking barriers and fostering 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,” the governor said.

Special Adviser on Innovation, Science, and Digital Economy, Azeez Badmus, added that the rollout is 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.”

The government noted that the service will be gradually expanded to more locations in the coming months.
