Azubuike Okechukwu has called on Nigeria to Cote d'Ivoire when they meet in their opening Group B fixture at the 2019 Africa U23 Cup of Nations on Saturday.
Imama Amapakabo’s men qualified for the tournament after defeating Sudan, and a win against the Ivorians will increase their chances of securing one of the three tickets to represent Africa at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics Games.
Okechukwu, who will not play a part in the tournament after his Turkish club Istanbul Basaksehir failed to release him, is confident Nigeria can claim victory in the encounter.
