Dr Pius Osunyikanmi, a former Ondo State Commissioner for Education and ex-Director-General of the Technical Aid Corps, has died at the age of 55.
Osunyikanmi, who was a prominent associate and political adviser to former Ondo State Governor Olusegun Mimiko, reportedly died at a hospital outside Nigeria.
He held the education commissioner portfolio during Mimiko’s administration before taking up the position of Director-General of the Technical Aid Corps, a Federal Government agency involved in providing technical assistance to other countries.
His involvement in the state’s political affairs and subsequent federal appointment made him a notable figure in Ondo State’s political landscape.
However, details about the circumstances surrounding his death, including the date and cause, had yet to be disclosed as of the time of filing this report.
