President Bola Tinubu has commiserated with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mr. Nyesom Ezenwa Wike, on the passing of Mrs. Grace Adayilo, the pioneer Head of Service of the Federal Capital Administration (FCTA).
The President also extended his sympathies to the children, family, and loved ones of the late Mrs. Adayilo and the FCTA’s management and staff.
Mrs. Adayilo passed away in the early hours of Monday, September 1, 2025. A dedicated public servant, she previously served as Education Secretary of the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC). Minister Wike appointed her as the first FCT Head of Service, following President Tinubu’s approval of a new civil service structure for the FCT.
President Tinubu prayed for the peaceful repose of Mrs. Adayilo’s soul and wishes her family, friends, and colleagues the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
