Grace Adayilo
Grace Adayilo was a pioneering Nigerian civil servant who made history as the first Head of the Civil Service of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and the first woman to hold this prestigious position. Appointed by President Bola Tinubu in October 2024, Adayilo brought a wealth of experience from her previous role as the Permanent Secretary of the Agriculture and Rural Development Secretariat. Her leadership and contributions to civil service in the FCT were significant, and her recent passing on September 1, 2025, has prompted an outpouring of grief from political leaders, including the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, who expressed his sorrow over her untimely death.
