The FCTA has appointed Mrs. Nancy Sabanti Nathan as Acting Head of Service following Mrs. Grace Adayilo’s death.
Nathan’s appointment takes immediate effect, and she will serve in an acting capacity until a substantive Head of Service is appointed.
Mrs. Nathan previously served as Permanent Secretary in the Youth Development Secretariat of the FCT and Director of Finance and Administration in the office of the Honourable Minister. Her appointment as Acting Head of Service is pending the appointment of a substantive Head of Service.
The FCTA had earlier lost Mrs. Grace Adayilo, who was appointed by President Bola Tinubu in October 2024, making her the first female and first indigenous Head of Service of the FCT Administration. If confirmed, Mrs. Nathan would become the second female Head of Service since the establishment of the FCT Civil Service Commission in October 2023.
