President Tinubu has announced a historic female appointment.
NewsOnline Nigeria reports that President Bola Tinubu has appointed Grace Adayilo as the new Head of Service (HoS) of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
This Nigeria news platform understands that Adayilo is the first female and Indigenous Head of Service (HoS) of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Adayilo, whose appointment takes immediate effect, succeeds Dr. Atang Udo Samuel.
Her leadership is expected to strengthen the FCT Administration’s bureaucratic structure, enhancing service delivery and governance.
Upon taking office in Abuja yesterday, Adayilo stated, “I express my gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the FCT Minister, Barr. Ezenwo Nyesom Wike. I pledge to align with the President’s ‘Hope Agenda,’ promising to deliver on my mandate and make Nigerians proud.”
Before her appointment, Adayilo served as the Permanent Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development, bringing extensive administrative experience to her new role.
Meanwhile, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has issued a stern warning to prominent Nigerians and corporate organizations, threatening to revoke the Certificates of Occupancy (C-of-O) for plots of land in the Maitama District of Abuja.
The ultimatum comes as a result of outstanding payments that must be settled within two weeks.
In a notice addressed to 3,273 allottees of the plots, the FCTA outlined the urgency of the situation, emphasizing the need for compliance to avoid penalties.
The notice, titled “Demand Notice for Payment of Right of Occupancy Bills for Issuance of Certificates of Occupancy on All Lands Allocated at Maitama II District, Cadastral Zone A10, Abuja,” was obtained by Premium Times on Friday.
The announcement has sent ripples of concern among the affected landowners, many of whom are high-profile individuals and established corporations.
