Why we featured this role

Deloitte is one of the Big Four professional services firms, and this is its 2026 graduate recruitment refresh for the Tax & Legal unit in Lagos, which provides clients with a broad range of integrated tax services. 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 Consulting. Deloitte never asks for payment or photographs at any stage, so treat any request for either as a scam. Deadline: 9 October 2026.
