Osun Government Widens Internet Access With Free Public WiFi Service

Osun State Government has launched Imole Wi-Fi, a free public internet service designed to expand digital access for residents, students, businesses and communities across the state.

The State Commissioner for Information and Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi disclosed this in a statement on Monday.

Alimi stressed that Imole Wi-Fi was conceived to facilitate digital access and increase opportunities across various sectors throughout the state.

He explained that the initial connection will be available in government buildings, including 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.

Alimi further added that the service was part of the Governor Ademola Adeleke-led administration’s push to deepen digital inclusion and stimulate growth in education, health, agriculture and commerce.

While launching the service, Governor Adeleke said, “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”.

Special Adviser in charge of the Service, Azeez Badmus, explained that the launch was an initial phase that will be expanded.

“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.

He explained that Imole Wi-Fi would be extended to additional locations in the future.
