From studying Computer Science, Tukur Adam switched to modelling, growing to be one of the most well-known from Northern Nigeria.

Tukur Adam, a model fast gaining popularity in Nigeria, particularly in the north, said a model doesn’t have to go nude.

He said this in a recent interview with Daily Trust. “Many people think being a model means posing nude or half naked for the world to see and then you get paid. I want to prove that there is modesty in modelling. I earn a living without being wayward or deviating from my culture and norms. What is happening nowadays is that, the mantle of glamour has been taken from the women and given to the men,” he said.

Adam said his choice to model as a career was influenced by his zeal to prove to the world that, the North can borrow, modify and adopt various entertainment opportunities that can earn them a lawful living. He added that, his involvement in modelling is to also prove a point that there is modesty in that line of work.

Adam, popularly known as Mr President, is a graduate of Computer Science from Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic, Zaria. He officially started his modelling career with Folee Lagos, a Lagos-based company. From there he got a series of business contracts from different fashion promoters within and outside the country. He soon began to secure products promotional jobs, campaigns, short videos, photo shoots in Zaria City, Kaduna State among others. As at February 2020, Adam’s Instagram followers hit the 76,893 mark.
