WorldStage– President Bola Tinubu has directed the immediate employment of all four children of the late Head of the FCT Civil Service, Mrs Grace Adayilo.
The president’s directive was disclosed on Saturday by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike at the National Christian Centre (Ecumenical) in Abuja, during the funeral service of Adayilo, who passed away on September 1, 2025.
The minister stated that the gesture was to provide for the family following the loss of their breadwinner.
In a heartfelt and somber tribute delivered at the church service, Wike eulogised the late civil servant, popularly known as ‘Mama Africa’, as an exceptionally dedicated, humble, and loyal official.
“We all know that we will die one day, that is guaranteed, but there are certain deaths when it occurs, it pains.
“It becomes more painful when there is no sign that somebody whom you are relating with, somebody you are working with, just comes to work and the next day you hear that the person is no longer there,” he said.
