The Super Falcons recovered impressively after losing their opening group game, finishing the group stage with six points courtesy of victories over Zambia and Egypt.
Despite also finishing on six points, Malawi claimed top spot in Group C on goal difference after earlier results, even though the Scorchers suffered a 2-1 defeat to Zambia in their final fixture.
Nigeria's second-place finish was enough to secure qualification for the knockout rounds as the ten-time African champions continue their quest for another continental title.
