The other players already in camp are Semi Ajayi, Moses Simon, Akor Adams, Benjamin Fredrick, Alhassan Yusuf and Arthur Okonkwo.
Fourteen more players are still expected to join the squad as preparations gather momentum for the crucial qualifiers.
The Super Eagles will host Tanzania’s Taifa Stars at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Friday before travelling to Zanzibar to face the East Africans at the Amaan Stadium next Tuesday.
Head coach Éric Chelle will be hoping to guide his side to positive results in both encounters.
