Other key players on the list are defenders Osinachi Ohale, Oluwatosin Demehin, and Shukurat Oladipo; midfielders Deborah Abiodun and Jennifer Echegini; and forwards Ifeoma Onumonu and Francisca Ordega.
The two matches are scheduled for Saturday, May 31, at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne-Remo, and Tuesday, June 3, at the MKO Abiola Sports Complex in Abeokuta.
These fixtures will serve as preparation for Nigeria’s campaign at the 13th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) taking place in Morocco from July 5 to 26. Cameroon, who failed to qualify for the tournament, will use the games to maintain competitive form.
All players are expected to report to camp at Am2pm Hotel in Ijebu-Ode on Monday, May 26.
Nigeria, nine-time WAFCON champions (also winners of the 1991 and 1995 non-tournament editions), are grouped alongside Tunisia, Algeria, and Botswana in Group B.
