JUST IN: FCT’s First Female Head of Service, Grace Adayilo, Passes On

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

A top source within the FCT Administration confirmed that Adayilo passed away in the early hours of Monday. As of press time, no official statement has been released by her family or the FCTA.

Her last public engagement was on Thursday, when she represented FCT Minister Nyesom Wike at the G7 security meeting in Abuja.

President Bola Tinubu appointed Adayilo as FCT HoS in October 2024, a landmark moment that broke both gender and geographical barriers in the territory’s administration.
