BREAKING: FCT Head of Service, Grace Adayilo, passes away

Grace Adayilo, the first female and indigenous Head of Service of the Federal Capital Territory, has died.

A reliable source within the Federal Capital Territory Administration confirmed that she passed away suddenly in the early hours of Monday.

As of press time, neither her family nor the FCTA has issued an official statement regarding her death.

Adayilo’s last official appearance was on Thursday, where she represented FCT Minister Nyesom Wike at the G7 security meeting in Abuja.

President Bola Tinubu appointed her in October last year, making her the first woman and indigenous person to hold the position, a milestone that broke both gender and geographical barriers in the FCT’s leadership history.
