Grace Adayilo Legacy Initiative Launched in Abuja

The Grace Adayilo Legacy Initiative for Grassroots Development (GALI) was unveiled in Abuja on Wednesday, marking the first anniversary of the death of Grace Adayilo, the late Head of Service of the Federal Capital Territory. At the event, Mrs. Nancy Nathan, the current FCT Head of Civil Service, praised Adayilo as a dedicated public servant who significantly contributed to the civil service's growth.

Nathan expressed support for the initiative, urging the foundation to operate with honesty and accountability while encouraging younger civil servants to take their responsibilities seriously. Dr. Jumai Ahmadu, the Director of the FCT Department of Reform Coordination and Service Improvement, stated that GALI aims to preserve Adayilo's legacy of love, compassion, and commitment to grassroots development.

A key component of this legacy is the Yeyedu Women Association, a group of women whom Adayilo, affectionately known as Mama Africa, supported throughout her career.
