Nigeria want to re-organize after failing to qualify for the just ended Africa Cup of Nations finals which was won by Ivory Coast.

The Black Stars were losing finalists and want to build on their performance ahead of the qualifiers to the 2017 tournament and the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals qualifiers.
