The state’s Special Adviser on ICT, Azeez Badmus, confirmed that more locations and government services will be added in subsequent phases, positioning Osun as a national leader in digital inclusion. The initiative marks a significant step toward building a connected and empowered digital future for all residents of Osun State.
