Adams' inclusion in the squad is seen as a boost to Nigeria's attacking options, particularly with his recent form, including scoring a crucial winner for Sevilla against Rayo Vallecano in La Liga.
The Super Eagles will face Lesotho on October 10 and Benin Republic on October 14 in their quest for World Cup qualification.
