The contingent, which includes Galatasaray star striker Victor Osimhen and 2024 Ballon d'Or nominee Ademola Lookman, was received on arrival at the Kigali International Airport in the evening by officials of the Nigerian embassy in Rwanda and Rwanda FA.

Nigeria will hold their penultimate training session later on Monday at Amahoro Stadium which will host Tuesday's encounter. The game will kick off at 3pm CAT.

They face Frank Spittler's Rwanda who held Libya to a 1-1 draw in Tripoli on September 4. The East African country is pushing for an AFCON qualification for the first time since 2004.
