A second-half goal from substitute, Tolu Arokodare, made the difference and earned Nigeria the maximum three points.
Striker, Victor Osimhen, who had an effort ruled out for offside in the first half, sustained an injury during the encounter that has so far drawn criticism from most Nigerian football enthusiasts.
