If you've ever logged onto the NYSC portal, chances are you've spotted that memorable photo of a young woman beaming with a saxophone in hand, dressed in her corper uniform. For years, she's been the unofficial face of the National Youth Service Corps, sparking curiosity among countless Nigerians. Well, the mystery is solved—her name is Adetuke Morgan, better known as Tuke Morgan.
Tuke served in Lagos State as part of the 2013 Batch C under the NYSC program. During her orientation camp, she was an active member of the Brigade Band and proudly represented Platoon 7. Her striking image from those camp days ended up on the official NYSC portal, turning her into a viral sensation without her even knowing it at first. Over the years, Nigerians accessing the site for registration, deployment, or other services have come across her picture, making her a familiar figure in the NYSC world.
But Tuke's story doesn't end with her service year. After passing out, she channeled her passion for music into a thriving career as a professional saxophonist. She's built a reputation for her versatile performances, covering genres like highlife, jazz, and gospel. Tuke leads her own 12-member band and has graced numerous weddings, corporate events, and special occasions with her soulful tunes. Her YouTube channel features covers and medleys that showcase her talent, including a popular Nigerian worship medley.
Beyond music, Tuke is a multifaceted creative. She's a lifestyle blogger running "Tuke's Quest," where she shares adventures, travel tips, and personal insights. As a seasoned photographer and online media personality, she captures stunning visuals and engages her audience on platforms like Instagram (@tukemorgan), where she boasts a vibrant following. With a BSc in Economics from the University of Nottingham and experience in advertising, Tuke balances her artistic pursuits with a solid professional foundation.
Tuke has also ventured into Nigeria's bustling film industry, Nollywood. She made her mark in movies like "The Wives," where she played the role of Ugo, and "Love In Every Word 2," featuring her band's performance at a wedding scene. Her transition from music to acting highlights her versatility and determination to explore new horizons.
On a personal note, Tuke has embraced family life with open arms. She's happily married (now going by Adetuke Oso in some professional circles) and is the proud mother of a handsome son. Balancing her career with motherhood, she continues to inspire many through her journey of growth and resilience.
From a corper's snapshot to a celebrated artist and family woman, Tuke Morgan's story is a testament to turning opportunities into lasting success. Follow her on social media for more updates on her exciting life!
