The long-standing mystery surrounding the smiling female corper featured on the NYSC portal has finally been solved — and Nigerians can now put a name to the iconic face.
Who Is She?
Her name is Adetuke “Tuke” Morgan.
Tuke served in Lagos State during the 2013 Batch C service year under the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). During her orientation camp, she was an active member of the Brigade Band and belonged to Platoon 7.
Her vibrant photo from camp later made its way onto the official NYSC portal, where it remained for years. Over time, she became the unofficial “face” of the scheme, with countless prospective corps members seeing her smiling image while registering.

She established herself as a:
- Professional saxophonist
- Model
- Blogger (through her platform Tuke’s Quest)
- Seasoned photographer
- Online media personality
She currently leads a band that performs at weddings and major events across Nigeria, earning widespread recognition.
Nollywood Journey
Tuke also ventured into acting, joining the Nigerian film industry, Nollywood.
She appeared in:
- The Wives – where she played the character Ugo
- Love In Every Word 2 – where her band performed during a wedding scene
Personal Life
Beyond her professional achievements, Tuke is happily married and blessed with a son.
From being a familiar smile on a national portal to becoming a multi-talented creative professional, Tuke Morgan’s journey has inspired many Nigerians who had long wondered about the woman behind the iconic NYSC image.
