Her death was confirmed Monday morning by the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike during his regular monthly media briefing.
It was gathered that Adayilo passed away in the early hours of Monday.
Wike described her death as shocking, noting that she was very hard working.
"If I had gotten the information on the demise of the FCT head of Service, I would have put off this media chat", he said.
