Open to any degree with a minimum of Second Class Upper. Note two real restrictions: you must have graduated between 2022 and 2025, and you must have completed NYSC by December 2026 — so current corpers finishing this year are eligible alongside those already done. Hybrid working, which is uncommon at this level in Nigeria. Applications through Reckitt's own careers portal. No stated deadline.
