About Deloitte Nigeria
Deloitte is one of the “Big Four” global professional services firms, operating in Nigeria as part of a network spanning more than 150 countries and territories, with over 450,000 professionals worldwide. Deloitte Nigeria provides Audit & Assurance, Tax & Legal, Consulting, Risk Advisory, and Financial Advisory services to clients across financial services, consumer goods, telecommunications, media & technology, energy, and government and public sectors.

Is the Deloitte Nigeria Graduate Recruitment Form Out?
Yes, a fresh “2026 Graduate Recruitment Refresh” window is currently open, closing 9 October 2026.
Deloitte Nigeria’s original 2026 Graduate Recruitment window, covering Audit & Assurance, Tax & Legal, and Consulting, closed on 10 April 2026.
Deloitte has since reopened applications through a “2026 Graduate Recruitment Refresh,” with confirmed postings currently live for the Consulting and Tax & Legal Unit service lines, each with an application deadline of 9 October 2026.
Given today’s date, this window closes very soon; apply promptly rather than waiting until the final days.
