The roll call was released via a statement by the Nigeria Football Federation made available to the media on Friday.

The Super Falcons played four matches in the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup without recording a loss in regulation time.
Sarina Wiegman’s side cruised through to the knockout stages of the tournament, co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand, with a 6-1 victory over China on Tuesday (August 1) to make it three wins from three.
Oshoala revealed the development on her Instagram page hours after she scored the third goal in the 3-2 victory.
The Barcelona Femini FC goal getter took off her shirt to celebrate the goal, a move that earned her a yellow card.
Disclosing the deliberate approach by the company, CEO, MultiChoice West Africa, John Ugbe, said the move is part of the SuperSport ‘Here for Her’ campaign, aimed at celebrating the success and achievements of women.
The partnership with Oshoala is part of the “Here For Her” SuperSport campaign in support of female sports.
