Graduate entry into Deloitte Nigeria's Tax & Legal unit. Any discipline, 2:1 minimum, under 26, O'levels in one sitting. Closes October 9.
Graduate Trainee 2026 — Consulting
Deloitte is one of the Big Four professional services firms, and this is its 2026 graduate recruitment refresh for the Consulting business in Lagos — which covers Strategy, Risk & Transactions Advisory, and Technology & Transformation. Any discipline is accepted, but the bar is specific: a Second Class Upper or Upper Credit, five O'level credits including Mathematics and English in a single sitting, a maximum age of 26 when you apply, and NYSC completed. Anyone who has written a Deloitte aptitude test before is not eligible. If you applied to Deloitte's round that closed on 10 April 2026, don't apply again — your earlier application still stands, and Deloitte says duplicate applications lead to disqualification. To be safe, apply to one unit only: this one or Tax & Legal. Deloitte never asks for payment or photographs at any stage, so treat any request for either as a scam. Deadline: 9 October 2026.
