JUST IN: FCT’s first female Head of Service, Grace Adayilo, is dead

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has been thrown into mourning following the sudden death of Grace Adayilo, the first female and indigenous Head of Service (HoS) of the FCT.

A reliable source within the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) confirmed that Adayilo passed away in the early hours of Monday. As of the time of this report, neither her family nor the FCTA has issued an official statement regarding her passing.

Adayilo’s last official engagement was on Thursday, where she represented FCT Minister Nyesom Wike at the G7 Security Meeting in Abuja.

President Bola Tinubu approved the appointment of Adayilo as the first female and Indigenous Head of Service (HoS) of FCT last October

Adayilo’s appointment marked a significant milestone in the FCT’s history, breaking the gender and geographical barriers.
