Nigeria’s Flying Eagles are in group B of the West Africa Football Union (WAFU) B Afcon qualifiers.
They will contend with Ghana and Burkina Faso for a place in the semi-final.
Ghana just denied Nigeria the opportunity to play at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar with their away goal advantage over Nigeria.
Nigeria had forced Ghana to a barren draw in the first leg in Kumasi only to allow the Black Stars to score first at home in Abuja, thus forcing Super Eagles to play a 1-1 draw at the end.
