JUST IN: Tinubu mourns FCT Head of Service Grace Adayilo, consoles Wike

President Bola Tinubu has reacted to the passing of the Head of Service of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Grace Adayilo.

Tinubu also commiserated with the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike over the death of Adayilo who passed away on Monday, September 1.

In a statement issued by Bayo Onanuga, the special adviser to the president on information and strategy, Tinubu said the death of the pioneer Head of Service of the FCT Administration is an irreparable loss.

The President also extended his sympathies to the children, family, and loved ones of the late 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.
