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

A highly placed source in the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) confirmed that Adayilo died suddenly in the early hours of Monday.

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

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

Her appointment as HoS, approved by President Bola Tinubu in October, was a historic milestone for the FCT, breaking both gender and geographical barriers in the territory’s administrative leadership.
