Other players invited to camp are Sulaiman Alabi ‘Jojo’, Nasiru Salihu, Oliseh Divine, Bidemi Amole, and Clinton Jephta.
In addition, seven foreign-based players have been called up to join the training camp.
The Flying Eagles are in Group B of the U-20 AFCON, where they will face Egypt, Morocco, and South Africa.
The tournament will kick off on 27 April in Cairo, Egypt.
