Pius Olakunle Osunyikanmi

[1][2] Technical Aid Corps is a Nigerian federal government agency responsible for the sharing of Nigeria's know-how and expertise with other African, Caribbean and Pacific countries (ACP).

He graduated from Orere Grammar School, Ile Oluji, Ondo State in 1989.

[9] Osunyikanmi was appointed the Special Adviser on International Relations to Nigeria's President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in 2011 and he served between July 2011 and August 2013.

[16][17] He was at some point interested in running for the governorship of Ondo state and was among those nominated by a youth group to succeed Olusegun Mimiko[18][19] but defected from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2015 when he could not get Olusegun Mimiko to support his ambition after the latter threw his weight behind his Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Eyitayo Jegede to succeed him as Governor.

[20][21][22][23] Shortly before his defection from the PDP, he had publicly disowned Olusegun Mimiko who he served under as Commissioner for Education, Special Adviser On Intergovernmental Affairs and Multilateral relations, and Special Assistant due to political differences.
