The pioneer Head of the Civil Service in the Federal Capital Territory, Mrs Grace Adayilo, has died.
She reportedly breathed her last in the early hours of Monday, September 1, 2025.
Her Special Assistant on Media, Anthony Odey, confirmed the development in a terse text message.
“Yes, please,” the text read.
