The first female and indigenous Head of Service (HoS) of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Grace Adayilo is dead.

According to a highly placed source in the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), Adayilo suddenly passed away in the early hours of Monday.

As of the time of filing this report, no official statement has been issued by either the family or FCTA.

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