Nigeria's Golden Eaglets have resumed their preparatory sessions in the country's capital Abuja, ahead of the 2023 Africa U-17 Cup of Nations.
The 15th edition of the cadet tournament will see 11 nations' U-17 sides head to Algeria in April in a bid to qualify for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
Golden Eaglets resume preparatory training camp
With Nigeria's presidential and national legislative elections over, the Golden Eaglets have resumed now their training sessions, according to BSN Sports.
The preparatory sessions which started in January had to be put on pause to enable members of the coaching staff to go on a break and join in the national polls held on February 25.
With the team now returning from the break, Coach Nduka Ugbade and his assistants will continue their drilling of the Eaglets to be in top shape ahead of the U-17 AFCON.
Nigeria in Group B
The Golden Eaglets, who qualified for the U-17 AFCON as WAFU B U-17 champions are drawn in Group B along with South Africa, Morocco and Zambia.

"It's quite interesting that it's like this now because the die is cast and there is no going back," Golden Eaglets coach Ugbade said after the draws in February.
Should the Golden Eaglets finish as one of the top four teams in Algeria, they will get the chance to fly Nigeria's flag in Peru.
