Osun Government Launches Free Wi-Fi Initiative for Students, Others

The Osun State Government has rolled out 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 unveiled on Monday in a statement by the Commissioner for Information and Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, who explained that the service is designed to boost opportunities in education, health, agriculture, and commerce.

According to him, the first phase of the project will provide free connections in strategic public locations, including the Osun State Library, Alphastart Hub, Osun Mall, Salvation Army Middle School, Osogbo Grammar School, and facilities within the Ministry of Innovation, Science, Technology and Digital Economy.

Governor Ademola Adeleke described the project as a major step in his administration’s commitment to digital inclusion and economic 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,” Adeleke said.
The Special Adviser on Innovation and Digital Economy, Azeez Badmus, noted that the launch marks only the beginning of a broader plan.

“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 said the free Wi-Fi service will gradually be extended to more locations across the state in the coming months.
